What I Meant to Say Songtext
von Daughtry

I woke up today
Sinkin′ 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'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

I'm strong enough to say
That I don′t wanna take the high road now
This is 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'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

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

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

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
