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 

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, I'm sorry about all the lies 

Maybe in a different light 

You can see me stand on my own again cause now I can see 

You are 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 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
