What I Meant To Say

[Verse 1]

Taxi's pulling up at the front door

All I can do is look away

The silence's screaming out from the night before

From everything that we didn't say

[Pre-Chorus]

We might fall apart, we might come undone

But there's something on the tip of my tongue

[Chorus]

I told you I would be okay

I said I won't stand in your way

But I should have said I love you, I just want you to stay

That's what I meant to say

[Verse 2]

We never said a word through the weekend

Now Monday comes in like a storm

Never put the words to the feelings

So what is this apology for

[Pre-Chorus]

If you're not with me, won't know who to be

Never thought that you'd really leave

[Chorus]

I told you I would be okay

I said I won't stand in your way

But I should have said I love you, I just want you to stay

That's what I meant to say

[Bridge]

That I want you, won't make it through this

Tongue tied and twisted and close to alone

I hope it's not too late

To say what I meant to say

[Pre-Chorus]

I told you I would be alright

I told myself the same old lies

But I should have held you closer

I just need you to stay

[Chorus]

I told you I would be okay

I said I won't stand in your way

But I should have said I love you, I just want you to stay

That's what I meant to say

[Outro]

That's what I meant to say

That's what I meant to say

That's what I meant to say

That's what I meant
