It took me by surprise
when i saw you standing there
close enough to touch
breathing the same air
you asked me how i've been
i guess that's when i smiled and said just fine,
oh but baby, i was lying
What i really meant to say
is i'm dying 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,
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 onto my pride
and watched you go
i wonder if you'll ever know
What i really meant to say
is i'm dying here inside
and i miss 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.
