What I Meant to Say

[Verse 1]
I woke up today sinking like the stones that you have thrown
Wounded by the same ole shots you take
It's easier to kick me when I'm low

[Chorus]
And I just thought that you should know
That I've been holding on while you've been letting go
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

[Verse 2]
I'm strong enough to say that I don't wanna take the high road now
S-s-so typical of you to walk away
When your perfect little world is burning down

[Chorus]
And I just thought that you should know
That I've been holding on while you've been letting go
Can I be so bold? Cause all this sucking up to you is 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

[Bridge]
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've made

[Chorus]
And I just thought that you should know
That I've been holding on while you've been letting go
Can I be so bold? Cause all this sucking up to you is 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

[Outro]
Can I be so bold? Cause all this sucking up to you is 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
