It took me by surprise

When I saw you standing there

Close enough to touch

Breathing the same air

You asked me how I'd been

I guess thats 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 on to 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 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 that I'm really not that strong

No matter how I try

I'm still holding on

And here's the honest truth

I'm still in love with you

That's what I really meant to say



That's what I really meant to say



That's what I really meant to say
