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 cannnot win
 
 You are the antidote that gets me by
 
 Something 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
  
 
 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 to you
  
 
 And I'm sorry about all the lies
 
 Maybe in a different light
 
 You could see me stand on my own again
 
 'Cause now I can see
 
 You were the antidote that got me by
 
 Something strong like a drug that got 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
  
 
 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 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
  
 
 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
  
 
 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
