Lyrics
[Intro] Mm Mm-hmm
[Verse 1] You still have my number saved
I know because you never changed it
Mine's been sitting there the same
I just don't know what I'd say with it
I found that picture from July
The one you hated, I still like
You were looking somewhere else
I was laughing at the time
[Pre-Chorus] We were terrible at talking
Good at making things okay
Until okay became pretending
And pretending got us here
[Chorus] But I meant it
Every time I said I loved you
Even when I couldn't show you
The way you needed me to
And I'm sorry
For the things I made you carry
For the nights I made you wonder
If I ever really cared
I did
I meant it
[Verse 2] You knew how I took my coffee
I knew when you'd had a bad day
You'd tap your fingers on the table
When you didn't know what to say
I remember stupid details
That I wish I could forget
Like the way you said my name
When you weren't angry yet
[Pre-Chorus] Maybe we were both exhausted
Maybe love wasn't enough
Maybe I kept asking questions
When you needed me to trust
[Chorus] But I meant it
Every time I said I loved you
Even when I couldn't show you
The way you needed me to
And I'm sorry
For the things I made you carry
For the nights I made you wonder
If I ever really cared
I did
I meant it
[Bridge] I don't need you to come back
I don't need another chance
I just hate the thought of you
Thinking none of it was real
I was scared and I was stubborn
You were hurt and so was I
We kept reaching for the ending
While pretending we could try
So if you ever tell the story
Please don't make me someone cold
I was young and I was learning
How to love somebody close
[Final Chorus] 'Cause I meant it
Every morning, every midnight
Every stupid little inside joke
Every time I held you tight
And I'm sorry
That the good couldn't outweigh it
That we waited till we broke
To finally say it
You were real
I was real
What we had was real
Even if it didn't last
I meant it
I meant it
I just wish we'd known
How to keep it
Before we let it go
