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
