Lyric

"What I Really Meant" is a quiet J-POP ballad about hiding your true feelings,
and the quiet ache that remains long after the moment to speak has passed.

Sometimes, we push people away not because we don't care,
but because we care too much.
We lie with good intentions.
We smile instead of cry.
And later, we wish we'd simply said,
"I love you."

Opening with the chorus and ending with no outro,
the song leaves space - for regret, for truth, for what could have been.

It's not a plea for forgiveness.
It's not a happy ending.
It's a final whisper to someone who may never hear it:
"What I told you wasn't the truth. But how I felt - that was."
