Did You Mean It?

I can see the dark skies
Brimming with your lies
Weightless, maybe I’ll fly
If this is goodbye

Now I’m waiting by the phone…
And remembering that fight
And you’re crying all alone…
Wanting me at night
I told you what I needed, what I wanted
And you were all, you were all
But you told me to spread my wings
And then you let me fall

*But I can’t hear your screams
You can’t see these tears
You were everything to me
For three damn years
But I can’t hear your pleas
Or take away your fears
It’s time to set free
The times you held me near__

Maybe I wasn’t right, no
Maybe you’ll get better, oh
But then again, I need some things
From the very man, who once told me
That I was everything, that you loved me—
But did you mean it?
I don’t think you meant anything you said

Now I’m waiting by the phone…
And remembering that fight
And you’re crying all alone…
Wanting me at night
I told you what I needed, what I wanted
And you were all, you were all
But you told me to spread my wings
And then you let me fall, then you let me fall

*But I can’t hear your screams
You can’t see these tears
You were everything to me
For three damn years
But I can’t hear your pleas
Or take away your fears
It’s time to set free
The times you held me near__

And I hope the light faded
By the early morning sun
This wasn’t time wasted
Even though you’re not ‘the one’
‘Cause I hope we can forget the
Fights we had
And I hope that you’ll remember me
Someday and be glad

But for now—
There’s just one thing
Remember how
You said some things
Just answer this
When you said
“I love you”
Did you mean it?
Did you mean it?
Did you mean it?

*But I can’t hear your screams
You can’t see these tears
You were everything to me
For three damn years
But I can’t hear your pleas
Or take away your fears
It’s time to set free
The times you held me near__

The times
You held
Me
Near
