I Never Wanted to Do This

Original Lyrics by Lone Wolf. Based on cutting off someone who, despite good intentions, never had my best interests at heart and only held me back — one of the most difficult decisions I ever had to make. A song of personal heartbreak, forgiveness, and letting go. Even if it's the right thing to do, the pain doesn't hurt any less. Though time heals, the scars remain. Thank you for listening! #IAmTheLoneWolf #DowntempoHouse #INeverWantedtoDoThis Thank you for listening! ------------------------------------- [Verse 1] I learned to walk but never lead... Love disguised as your selfish creed... Your protection only held me back... Tried to grow but only got your slack... [Verse 2] It was clear when I tried spreading my wings And you just lose it over meaningless things If I can’t get all this off my chest... Then I’ll let you go, it’s for the best... [Chorus] I never wanted to do this, But there’s no other choice. I tried to reason with you, But you never heard my voice. Now I wander, down this path alone. The scars remain, But I had to let you go. [Post Chorus with cello and melancholic vocal harmonies] Oooo…I never wanted this Oooo…this doesn’t bring me bliss Oooo…after all this strain Oooo…nothing left but pain [Verse 3] You called me selfish before I could speak The weight of everything, it made me weak It’s too much, I had to walk away Love remains but my peace can’t stray [Bridge (Spoken Word, melancholic yet reflective)] “I never thought it would come to this, Yet here we are. All I wanted was independence, Yet you never saw me for my potential. I know you had the best intentions. I still love you and I forgive you. We can still eat, But it won’t be at the same table.” [Final Chorus] I never wanted to do this, But there’s no other choice. I tried to reason with you, But you never heard my voice. Now I wander, down this path alone. The scars remain, But I had to let you go. [Post Chorus with cello and melancholic vocal harmonies] Oooo…I never wanted this Oooo…this doesn’t bring me bliss Oooo…after all this strain Oooo…nothing left but pain [Outro]
