It took my by surprise

When I saw you standing there

Close enough to touch

Breathing the same air

You asked me how Id been

I guess thats when I smiled

And said, just fine.

Oh but baby I was lying



What I really meant to say

Is Im dying here inside

And I miss you more each day

Theres not a night I havent cried

And baby heres the truth

Im still in love with you

Thats 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 youll ever know



What I really meant to say

Is Im dying here inside

And I miss you more each day

Theres not a night I havent cried

And baby heres the truth

Im still in love with you



What I really meant to say

Is Im really not that strong

No matter how I try

Im still holding on

And heres the honest truth

Im still in love with you, yeah

Thats what I really meant to say
