Lyrics
I didn't mean those words I said last night;
That bit like an arrow, that cut like a knife.
I didn't mean those words to make you cry, but there's something I'm not telling you that might explain why, what I...
Chorus:
What I meant, to say, was "my heart feels empty when you're away."
What I meant, for you to hear was, "I feel whole when you're near."
I didn't meant me words to sound so strong,
But I can see how you might think that since my tone was all wrong and I...
Neither meant to cause you fear nor dread,
'Cause you know it'd break my heart to see your eyes turn red. What I...
(Chorus)
It's not that I'm explaining things away. Or trying to confuse you.
It's just that get tangled up inside. And then
Passion ensures my words don't come out right.
I hope these words will help to make it clear, that my feelings run deeper than they may appear.
(Chorus) x 2
