What I Meant To Say

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
