What I Really Meant To Say

Cyndi Thomson

It took me by surprise
When I saw you standin' there
Close enough to touch
Breathin' 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 lyin'

What I really meant to say
Is I'm dyin' here inside
And 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, ooh
And 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, ooh
I wonder if you'll ever know

What I really meant to say
Is I'm dyin' here inside
And 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, ooh

What I really meant to say
Is I'm really not that strong
No matter how I try
I'm still holdin' on
And here's the honest truth
I'm still in love with you, ooh
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
