What I Meant

When I said it was over

I meant it has just begun
sorry if I'm making you confused
When I said you are awful

I meant you are awful cute
Don't listen to those ugly words I used


The fact is I'm afraid to open up my heart
And all the tender phrases I rehearse
Come out all upside down and in reverse


When I said no I meant yes
When I said go I meant stay

I just can't help it I guess
I never mean what I say
When I said hate I meant love

When I said don't I meant do
And when I said goodbye I meant
I'm so in love with you


When I said stay away from me
I meant come over here

I'm sorry if you can't connect the dots
I told you I was sick of you
But I can't get enough

My words don't seem to line up with my thoughts

The fact is I'm in love

and this is new to me
my heart feels like it's ready to explode
and everything I say comes out in code


When I said no I meant yes
When I said go I meant stay

I just can't help it I guess
I never mean what I say
When I said hate I meant love

When I said don't I meant do
And when I said goodbye I meant
I'm so in love with you


Up is down, black is white
right is wrong, wrong is right

one plus one equals three
Just look what you've done to me


When I said no I meant yes
When I said go I meant stay
I just can't help it I guess

I never mean what I say
When I said hate I meant love
When I said don't I meant do

And when I said goodbye I meant
I'm so in love with you


When I said go I meant stay
I just can't help it I guess
I never mean what I say

When I said hate I meant love
When I said don't I meant do
And when I said goodbye I meant

I'm so in love with you.
