What I Really Meant To Say

Cyndi Thomson

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 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
held onto 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 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
