I’m really not the silent type
I just don’t know what to say
So I keep it all inside
Hiding my feelings away
Even now I’m speechless
As you turn to walk away
But I meant every word I didn’t say

10003901_10151998916632844_819639725_nI love you more than life itself
But how would you ever know
When I thought being a man
Meant to never let it show
When I tried to tell you
My pride got in the way
But I meant every word I didn’t say

I never said “I love you”
When I was holding you so tight
I never said “I need you in the night”
I never gave you a reason to stay
Baby please don’t go
I need you to know
I meant every word I didn’t say

I’m just trying to tell you
I know that I was wrong
I wanted you, I needed you
I loved you all along
So tell me you believe me
And say it’s not too late
‘Cause I meant every word I didn’t say
