Lyric

[Verse 1]

You said goodbye like it was spring

Soft and slow, with no regrets

I nodded, smiled, and let you go

But there were things I can't forget

[Chorus]

What I meant to say

Never found its sound

It stayed behind my quiet lips

Too late to turn around

[Verse 2]

I see you now from time to time

A little older, still the same

I wonder if you ever think

Of how we never said the name

[Bridge]

I wrote it down a hundred times

Then tossed the page away

Some words just never learn to speak—

But they still want to stay

[Chorus – reprise]

What I meant to say

Still waits inside the air

And if you ever turn again

You might just find it there
