Last night I told a lie   When I told you I could say goodbye   Here in the light of day   What a crazy thing for me to say      What I meant to say was I love you   What's been killin' me is I hurt you   What I didn't do was hold you when I saw the teardrops fall   What I should've said was I'm sorry   What I should've said was forgive me   What I meant to say was what I didn't say at all      Last night I had a dream   You were really walking out on me   I woke up scared to death   Please forget about the things I said      What I meant to say was I love you   What's been killin' me is I hurt you   What I didn't do was hold you when I saw the teardrops fall   What I should've said was I'm sorry   What I should've said was forgive me   What I meant to say was what I didn't say at all      What I meant to say was what I didn't say at all
