It took me by surpsrise
when i saw you standin there
close enough to touch
breathin the same air
you asked me how ive been
i guess thats when i smiled and said just fine
o but baby i was lyin
--what i really meant to say
is im dyin here inside
and i miss you more each day
theres not a night i havent cried
and baby here's the truth
im still in love with you
--thats what i really meant to say
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 you'll ever know
--what i really meant to say
is im dyin here inside
and i miss you more each day
theres not a night i havent cried
and baby here's the truth
im still in love with you
---what i really meant to say
is im really not that strong
no matter how i try
im still holdin on
and here's the honest
im still in love with you
thats what i really meant to say
thats what i really meant to say
