(Cyndi Thomson/Chris Waters/Tommy Lee James) 
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 I 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 (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 
I wonder if you'll ever know 
What I really meant to say 
Is I'm dyin' here inside 
And I 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 (And, that's what I really meant to say) 
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 
And, that's what 
I really meant to say 
That's what 
I really meant to say 
That's what 
I really meant to say
