They never tell you before they try
And sell you
Wanna see how well you can swim
I never told you before I went and sold you
I was only gold on the rim

It's a one, two, three, pull it off and see
That a stitch at a time saves nine
And you won't unravel
When you're thrown from the saddle
And you won't unwind

I never meant to break your heart
I never meant to break your heart
I never meant to pull you apart
But I do it all over again
I never meant to break your heart
But I do it again
I do it again

I know I meant it, although I never said it
I was only buying the time
Just take a second to wind your watch
And set it
We were only running behind

It's a one, two, three, count it out with me
When you're in it a minute, you're mine
I'm a quick controller
So you won't fast forward and you won't rewind

I never meant to break your heart
I never meant to break your heart
I never meant to pull you apart
But I do it all over again
I never meant to break your heart
But I do it again
I do it again
I do it again
But I do it again

I never meant to break your heart
I never meant to break your heart
I never meant to pull you apart
But I do it all over again
I never meant to break your heart
But I do it again
