Meant to say

Old scenes from the life we choose
Old things that you can't excuse

And we don't try

If what I said
And what you heard today
Had only been
What I had meant to say
I know you'd understand
And you would hold my heart
In your hands

Bad timing and circumstance
Spins us in an angry dance

I have to be right this time
You left me, then said goodbye

The only one to blame

If what I said
And what you heard today
Had only been
What I had meant to say
I know you'd understand
And you would hold my heart
In your hands

Warm feelings that crash and burn
Deep wounds and some careless turns

Then everyone runs away
Fear wings are the price we paid

Is it all the love that's gone

If what I said
And what you heard today
Had only been
What I had meant to say
I know you'd understand

If what I said
And what you heard today
Had only been
What I had meant to say
I know you'd understand
And you would hold my heart
In your hands
