Intro: Verse 1: It took me by surprise, when I saw you standing there Close enough to touch, breathing the same air You asked me how I've been I guess that's when I smiled and just said fine Oh, but baby, I was lying Chorus 1: What I really meant to say, is that I'm dying 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 Yeah...that's what I really meant say Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1:) 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 onto my pride and watched you go I wonder if you'll ever know Chorus 2 (same chords and lyrics as chorus 1) Chorus 3 (same chords as chorus 1, alternate lyrics:) What I really meant to say, is I'm really not that strong And no matter how I try, I'm still holding on And here's the honest truth...I'm still in love with you That's what I really meant to say That's what I really meant to say That's what I really meant to say Hope this works for you guys, too! Happy picking! Colleen
