Looking back at me I see that I never really got it right   I never stopped to think of you   I’m always wrapped up in things I cannot win   You are the antidote that gets me by    Something strong like a drug that gets me high      What I really meant to say   Is I’m sorry for the way I am   I never meant to be so cold   Never meant to be so cold      What I really meant to say   Is I’m sorry for the way I am   I never meant to be so cold   Never meant to be so       Cold to you, I’m sorry about all the lies   Maybe in a different light   You could see me stand on my own again    Cause now I can see   You are the antidote that got me by   Something strong like a drug that got me high      What I really meant to say   Is I’m sorry for the way I am   I never meant to be so cold   Never meant to be so cold      What I really meant to say   Is I’m sorry for the way I am   I never meant to be so cold   Never meant to be so cold      I never meant to be so cold      I never really wanted you to see    The screwed up side of me that I keep    Locked inside of me so deep    It always seems to get to me   I never really wanted you to go    So many things you should have known   I guess for me there’s just no hope   I never meant to be so cold      What I really meant to say   Is I’m sorry for the way I am   I never meant to be so cold   Never meant to be so cold      What I really meant to say   Is I’m sorry for the way I am   I never meant to be so cold   Never meant to be so cold
