What I Really Meant To Say

It took me by surprise
 When I saw you standin' there
 Close enough to touch
 Breathin' the same air
 You asked me how I'd been
 I guess that's when I smiled and said, "Just fine"
 Oh, but baby, I was lyin'
 What I really meant to say
 Is I'm dyin' here inside
 And I miss you more each day
 There's not a night I haven't cried
 And baby, here's the truth
 I'm still in love with you, yeah
 That's what I really meant to say
 ♪
 And as you walked away
 The echo of my words
 Cut just like a knife
 Cut so deep it hurt
 I held back the tears
 Held on to my pride and watched you go
 I wonder if you'll ever know
 What I really meant to say
 Is I'm dyin' here inside
 And I miss you more each day
 There's not a night I haven't cried
 And baby, here's the truth
 I'm still in love with you
 What I really meant to say
 Is I'm really not that strong
 No matter how I try
 I'm still holdin' on
 And here's the honest truth
 I'm still in love with you, yeah
 That's what I really meant to say
 That's what I really meant to say
 That's what I really meant to say
