What I Meant to Say - Daniel Powter (丹尼尔·波特)

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
