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 thats when I smiled and said just fine
oh but baby I was dieing

what I really meant to say is
I'm dieing 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
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 onto my pride and 
watched you go.I wonder if you'll ever know

what I really meant to say is 
I'm dieing 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 holding on
and here's the honest truth. I'm still in
love with you
yeah...

thats what I really meant to say
thats what I really meant to say
thats what I really meant to say
