It took me by surprise
When I saw you standin' there
Close enough to touch
Breathin' 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 lyin'What I really meant to say
Is I'm dyin' 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, yeah
That's what I really meant to sayAnd 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 knowWhat I really meant to say
Is I'm dyin' 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 youWhat 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 sayThat's what I really meant to say
That's what I really meant to say
