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, yeah   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 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   That's what I really meant to say      That's what I really meant to say      That's what I really meant to say
