I Meant What I Said Lyrics

I Meant What I Said
All Words & Music by A.J. Croce,

The person whose face remains nameless
Her innocence saved by the bell
The effects of what could have been shameless
If only the both of us fell
(Chorus)
But I meant what I said when I said that
I was falling in love
So how was the affair derailed
There seemed no destination
Our romance had failed
But there had to be someone to blame
'Cause there always is and it's never the same
(Bridge)
Throw fuel on the fire and let it burn
With ashes to ashes we'll fill the urn
We'll fall in love when it's our turn
But I meant what I said when I said
That I was falling love
