Mea Culpa Lyrics by {Parentheses}

{Parentheses}

2017

[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Let's take a walk down memory lane
But forget all the steps that caused us pain
But I remember the good times that we had
But I regret 'em all for the times I made you feel sad
Lost for words I always am
I guess it's 'cause nobody ever gave me a chance
Try to speak, but nothing comes out right
You said I only speak my feelings at night

[Chorus]
But hurting you was never my intention
Wanna make you feel safe but free
Hurting you was never my intention
Wanna make you feel safe, but the person who hurt you most was me

[Verse 2]
Let's set up a picnic on a hill
And as we set, so will the sun
And as we sat, we'll take our minds off the nets
That we set there in hopes that they'd snare a couple of God's creations

[Chorus]
But hurting you was never my intention
Wanna make you feel safe but free
Hurting you was never my intention
Wanna make you feel safe, but the person who hurt you most was—

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

[Chorus]
But hurting you was never my intention
Wanna make you feel safe but free
Hurting you was never my intention
Wanna make you feel safe, but the person who hurt you most was me
