What I Meant To Say Songtext / Lyric

I woke up today Sinking like the stones that you have thrown Wounded by the same old shots you take
It's easier to kick me when I?m low

And I just thought that you should know
That I?d been holding on while you'd been letting go
Then it's not too late to say it right this time
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry
But that's not what I meant to say

Strong enough to say
That I don't wanna take the hard road now
S-S-So typical of you to walk away
When your perfect little world is burning down

And I just thought that you should know
That I'd been holding on while you'd been letting go
Can I be so bold
'Cause all this talking up to you's just getting old
But it's not too late to say it right this time
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry
But that's not what I meant to say

Ah,
What I really meant to say
With every little breath I take
I'm not the only one who makes mistakes
Just think of all the ones you made

And I just thought that you should know
That I'd been holding on while you'd been letting go
Can I be so bold
'Cause all this talking up to you's just getting old
Well, it's not too late to say it right this time
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry
But that's not what I meant to say
Not what I meant to say
Can I be so bold
'Cause all this talking up to you's just getting old
Well, it's not too late to say it right this time
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry
But that's not what I meant to say
