I wrote this song a couple of years ago in a time where I was acting purely on emotion, getting overwhelmed and then running away. In this particular situation, I ran away to Copenhagen with my flatmate. The song came to me in the blue shower in our little blue airbnb. I could have sworn the smell of the shampoo was the exact same as the one used by a person I had cared deeply for, and suddenly I was back sitting in the street next to them, crying and walking away, ultimately ending our relationship. I Meant What I Said is my little apology note, but I don’t know if they ever heard it. - Faye Rogers
lyrics
I’ve been running away, like I always do.
But the shampoo smelt like you and I fell back into the sinking in your eyes, When it rained and we both cried.
I shouldn’t let myself be so upset.
I know I’m the one who caused this. But I didn’t mean to,
I didn’t want to hurt you.
I hope I get to see you again.
But I understand if this has to be the end. I guess the tears will keep on falling ‘Cause you’re so kind and I can’t be.
I shouldn’t let myself be so upset.
I know I’m the one who caused this. But I didn’t mean to,
I didn’t want to hurt you.
