Story Behind The Song
WRTTEN IN 1988 THIS SONG WAS AND IS ABOUT THE MOTHER OF MY 2 BOYS (TERRY AND RYAN) SHE WAS EVERYTHING I WAS AND THE RELATIONSHIP MIRRORED ITSELF TO A BITTER END. WE DIVORCED SHORTLY AFTERWARDS AND IN 2001 SHE PASSED AWAY FROM CANCER. HER NAME WAS CINDY AND I REFER TO HER AT THE END (AS I DID IN LIFE ) AS SID (LIKE AS IN SID VICIOUS).
Song Description
THIS IS THE 1ST SONG WE EVER WROTE AND I FEEL IT IS A GREAT SONG WITH AN INTROSPECTIVE MESSAGE. THE VIBE IS VERY MUCH WHAT A NICKLEBACK TUNE WOULD BE WITH OFCORSE LESS PRODUCTION VALUE.

Lyrics
SITTING AT THE EDGE OF THE MOUNTAIN I DID'NT MEAN TO BE, SO MEAN... IN THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE MORNING LIGHT IM LOST AND IM EMPTY I DIDNT MEAN TO BE SO MEAN..
SHE WANTS TO BE SEEN NEVER TO BE HEARD SHES TENDER AND SHE SO COMPLETELY ABSURD, AND SHE DIDNT MEAN TO BE SO MEAN....
LOVINGS LOST DESIRE WE RAN INTO THE FIRE OF THE NIGHT.
NOW THE SUN IS SLOWLY SINKING AND THE MOMENTS BUT ALL BLINKING IN MY LIFE. IM A VENGEFUL GUY A NO PLEAS
THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AND I KEEP THE KEYS,THEY SEEM TO BE FOR ME...BY THE THE PRINCE OF PEACE THE KING OF PAIN THE DUKE OF HATRED HAS NO SHAME, I AM THE ONE TO BLAME..WHYYYY OH WHY.
(SOLO)
INDICATIONS OF OUR LOVE, FOSTERED IN OUR DREAMS
I DIDNT MEAN TO BE... THE WET DESERT SAND AND THE FLOWERS IN MY HANDS THEY SEEM TO BE SO MEAN
LOVINGS LOST DESIRE WE RAN INTO THE FIRE OF THE NIGHT
NOW THE SUN SLOWLY SINKING AND THE MOMENT S ALL A BLINKING IN MY LIFE..I'LL BETCHA GOD WILL HEAR NO PLEAS THE DOORS ARE LOCKED SO KEEP THE KEYS, DESTINE TO BE FOR ME BY THE PRINCE OF PEACE, THE KING OF PAIN THE DUKE OF HATRED HAS NO SHAME AND I AM THE ONE THAT YOU BLAME SID, I DIDNT MEAN TO BE (REPEAT TO END)
