'...I never meant to break your heart, please forgive me.'



No I never meant to hold you back

I never meant to turn away

please forgive me



I never meant to break your heart

I'd give my last breath before I do

please forgive me



No I never meant to hold you down

I never meant to break your heart

somehow, somehow

we are survivors



No I never meant to hold you back

I never meant to turn away

here we are standing here

survivors in the night



No I never meant to break your heart

I'll always be here for you

here's my word, take my hand

survivors in the night



No I never meant to let you down

I'd give my last breath before I do

all I ever wanted was to be right here

survivors in the night



When all is said and done

we'll find a way

to put all this behind us

we'll find some way

'cos you know that I won't be leaving

yes I'm here and i won't be leaving



No I never meant to cause you pain

no I never meant to hurt you

all I want to do now, is to try my best

survivors in the night



When all is said and done

we'll find someday

we can forget all this

somehow, some way



And as long as I'm here

there'll be no worries any more

and all these promises I'm making now

I'll hold each day



So don't ever. don't ever, don't forget

that I never, never meant to break your heart

all I ever wanted was to stand beside you

survivors in the night



We are survivors in the night
