Key: C
Introduction:
C# A#m
It took me by surprise, when I saw you standing there
C# A#m
Close enough to touch, breathing the same air
C#
You asked me how I've been
A#m G# F#
I guess that's when I smiled and just said fine
G#
Oh, but baby I was lying?
(chorus)
C# G# A#m
What I really meant to say, is that I'm dying here inside
F# C#
And I miss you more each day, there's not a night I haven't cried
G# F#
And baby, here's the truth...I'm still in love with you
C# F# C# F#
Yeah...that's what I really meant say
C# A#m
And as you walked away, the echo of my words
C# A#m
Cut just like a knife, cut so deep it hurt
C# A#m G# F#
I held back the tears, held onto my pride and watched you go
G#
I wonder if you'll ever know?
(repeat chorus)
C# G# A#m
What I really meant to say, is I'm really not that strong
F# C#
And no matter how I try, I'm still holding on
G# F#
And here's the honest truth...I'm still in love with you
C#
That's what I really meant to say
F# C#
That's what I really meant to say
F# C#
That's what I really meant to say
