I Never Meant You Harm

There’s a soft wind blowing and my mind is drifting away
It’s hard to concentrate on anything except the words she had to say
In the park we sat together and she held me in her arms as the band begun to play
She turned to me and whispered in my ear
“How can anybody be in love with you if you don’t even love yourself?”
I said, “It’s easy to buy love for yourself, go to the store and grab it off the shelf”
I could tell she was laughing but won’t admit it, she must be ashamed of how she felt
If it were easy I’d laugh in the face of fear
The stars seem lower tonight so I tried to reach up and grab one for her
I counted out a million of them one by one, so many to choose from, how can I be sure
That the one I choose expresses how I feel better than could ever be written with word
Or Doesn’t any of this even matter?
I like to think back to the time when everything was easy when we were young
When you looked up to me for who I was instead of the person I have become
But it doesn’t erase, or wash away, the endless amount of sadness that I’ve brung
How could I ever be mad at her?
Does she still think of me
Even though she had to leave
Feeling like she took with her that air that I breathe
I looked for her everywhere
But she is never there
It’s a reflection from the shadow of a lingering memory
The places I remember that we used to stay have changed and aren’t there anymore
It’s a shame to see friends grow apart and become doctors, and lawyers and even landlords
But the thing that I remember most is staying up and listening to those storms
Where I first held you in my arms
I saw the starlight casting in her eyes and it lit up the entire night
My eyes might have glanced away a few many times, but I always had her in my sight
I remember how we were thrown out of town for starting up too many fights
I never did mean you any harm
