(Don Cook/Sam Hogin/Jim McBride)



Last night I told a lie

When I told you I could say goodbye

Here in the light of day

What a crazy thing for me to say



What I meant to say was I love you

What's been killin' me is I hurt you

What I didn't do was hold you when I saw the teardrops fall

What I should've said was I'm sorry

What I should've said was forgive me

What I meant to say was what I didn't say at all



Last night I had a dream

You were really walking out on me

I woke up scared to death

Please forget about the things I said



What I meant to say was I love you

What's been killin' me is I hurt you

What I didn't do was hold you when I saw the teardrops fall

What I should've said was I'm sorry

What I should've said was forgive me

What I meant to say was what I didn't say at all



What I meant to say was what I didn't say at all
