Looking back at me I see that I  

Never really got it right  

I never stopped to think of you  

I'm always wrapped up in things I cannot win  

You are the antidote that gets me by  

Somethin' strong like a drug that gets me  

High  

What I really meant to say  

Is I'm sorry for the way I am  

I never meant to be so cold  

Never meant to be so cold  

Cold, to you, I'm sorry 'bout all the lies  

Maybe in a diff'rent light  

You can see me stand on my own again  

'Cause now I can see  

What I really meant to say  

Is I'm sorry for the way I am  

I never meant to be so cold  

Never meant to be so cold  

I never really wanted you to see  

the screwed up side of me that I keep  

locked inside of me so deep  

it always seems to get to me  

i never really wanted you to go  

so many things you should have known  

i guess for me there's just no hope  

i never meant to be so cold
