what i really meant to say -- cyndi thompson
It took me by surprise
When I saw you standing there
Close enough to touch
Breathing the same air
You asked me how IÕd been
I guess thatÕs when I smiled and said just fine
oh but baby I was lying
What I really meant to say
Is IÕm dying here inside
And I miss you more each day
ThereÕs not a night I havenÕt cried
And baby hereÕs the truth
IÕm still in love with you
ThatÕs 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 onto my pride
And watched you go
I wonder if youÕll ever know
What I really meant to say
Is IÕm dying here inside
And I miss you more each day
ThereÕs not a night I havenÕt cried
And baby hereÕs the truth
IÕm still in love with you
What I really meant to say
Is IÕm really not that strong
No matter how I try
IÕm still holding on
And hereÕs the honest truth
IÕm still in love with you
ThatÕs what I really meant to say
What I really meant to say
