lyrics

i didn't mean to hurt you, liebchen
i love you, little one
i don't know why i hurt you, liebchen
sometimes i come undone

with these little bites and stings and pricks
i eat your love away
but my hunger still consumes me
i know no other way
to show you i love you
i can only bruise your heart
it's when i know i've hurt you liebchen
you are mine
you are mine

i didn't mean to hurt you, liebchen
i love you, little one
i can't say why i hurt you, liebchen
sometimes i'm all undone

i'm sad and sick and sorry
the ever selfish one
your eyes are full of things
that can't be undone
i can say i didn't mean it
but i did it just the same
even so i try
to give you all the blame

i could blame it on my shattered past
on those who taught me pain
but truth is, i'm not strong enough
to ever change
it's my weakness that drew you
it's your hope in me i crush
no one can love me
not enough
i'm not enough

i'm sorry that i hurt you, liebchen
i love you, little one
it's my secrets that hurt you, liebchen
and now it's all undone

this is a game you were meant to lose
oh my poor liebchen, you just never knew
but your black and blue heart proves i loved you
yes, your black and blue heart proves i loved you

Alacartoona Kansas City, Missouri

Alacartoona's stage show is a visual extension of their all-original songbook. Utilizing a stripped down ensemble of accordion, bass, and drums, with the occasional guitar or brass, they bring to life vivid tales of love and loss, of bedrooms and back alleys, of the solitude and the camaraderie of sex, drugs and cabaret. ... more
