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
|
