What I Meant To Say lyrics - Daniel Powter

Taxi's pulling up at the front door All I can do is look away The silence screaming out from the night before From everything that we didn't say We might fall apart We might come undone But there's something on the tip of my tongue 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 But that's what I meant to say We never said a word through the weekend Now Monday comes in like a storm Never put the words to the feelings So what this parody's for If you're not with me Won't know who to be Never thought that you'd really leave 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 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 I told you I would be alright I told myself the same old lies I should have held you closer I just need you to stay 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 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
