Back to Berlin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I found a place where I instantly felt I was home
Hadn't felt like that since I was six years old
And you brought me ice cream and chips on a Sunday
And we stayed in bed and watched films on a Monday
But little did I know, that I'd be the one to go

[Chorus]
If I could, I'd go back to Berlin and tell you
I'm sorry for hurting the one thing we had from the start
Apologize to you for playing with your heart
If I could, I'd go back to Berlin and I'd tell you
I'm sorry for hurting the one thing we had from the start
Apologize to you for playing with your heart
For playing with your heart

[Verse 2]
Now, we walked the streets of Berlin in the nighttime
And talked about where we'd both be in ten years' time
That I'd be up on the stage and you'd be creating a brand new age
And you made a mixtape of songs for my birthday
I listen to them constantly, they're on replay
And I keep on playing in my mind
The way things went down in Berlin at the time

[Chorus]
If I could I'd go back to Berlin and tell you
I'm sorry for hurting the one thing we had from the start
Apologize to you for playing with your heart
If I could I'd go back to Berlin and I'd tell you
I'm sorry for hurting the one thing we had from the start
Apologize to you for playing with your heart
[Bridge]
'Cause I never meant no harm
I never meant no harm
I never meant no harm
I never meant no harm, no harm

[Chorus]
If I could I'd go back to Berlin and I'd tell you
I'm sorry for hurting the one thing we had from the start
Apologize to you for playing with your heart
For playing with your heart

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
