I didn't mean to run him away
I didn't mean Lord knows it breaks his heart not for anything
I didn't mean to mess up our lives and I still can't believe I ran him away
If you see this boy I left crying if you see this boy I left trying
To get over one of the dumbest things I've ever done
Tell him I didn't mean to hurt him like he said only I could
Tell him that I still love him so
If you see this boy lookin' lonely like he's lost his one and only
The one I looked for so long then like a fool let him go
Tell him that I'm sorry and if he'll only come on back to me
Tell him I wouldn't ever hurt him again

And I didn't mean to run him away
I didn't mean Lord knows to break his heart not for anything
I didn't mean to mess up our lives and I still can't believe I ran him away
The best part of me I ran him away

If you see this boy tell him I love him if you see this boy tell him I need him
And if he cares at all to come on back and save my life
Tell him it would be such a shame to let our love go down the drain
And that everyone you know makes mistakes

And I didn't mean to run him away...
I didn't mean to run him away...
