What I Really Meant to Say

It took me by surprise
To see 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 hurts
I held back the tears
I held on to my pride
And watched you go....
I wonder if you'll ever know

What I really mean 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 I'm really not that strong
And no matter how I try
I'm still holding on
Here's the honest truth
I'm still in love with you.

That's what I really meant to say.
