What I Meant To Say

(album: Secrets - 2019)

It's been awhile since I last saw you
At your brother's wedding day
Tell me what you've been up to
I can see you've changed your hair

I heard you moved out the city
It's good to know that you're okay
Well, I gotta meet some friends right now
But take care anyway
There was so many things I should have said
But I just couldn't find the words

What I meant to say
Is I'm still in love with you
I miss you every day
Can we give it one more try?
The words were in my mind
But I kept it all inside
I should have told you, but my pride got in away
Of what I meant to say

I haven't stopped thinking about you
Since I saw you yesterday
So I got your number from a friend
I hope that it's okay
I find the nerve to call you
Just to hear you say "leave a message after the tone"
So I took a breath and said

"Girl, it was nice seeing you the other day
I couldn't live with myself without letting you know"

What I meant to say
Is I'm still in love with you
I miss you every day
Can we give it one more try?
The words were in my mind
But I kept it all inside
I should have told you, but my pride got in away
Of what I meant to say

Oh
Shoulda told you, but my pride got in the way
Of what I meant to say
