Content


The narrator realizes that he hurt his lover when he said he could walk out on her and regrets it deeply. In the chorus he tells her that he really meant to apologize and to tell her that he loves her.



Critical reception


Larry Flick, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling it a "slow and pretty ballad." He goes on to say the song proves that "as good as Hayes sounds on uptempo, this ballad is further proof that he can slow it way down and still deliver the goods with warmth and style."[2]



Music video


The music video was directed by Steven Goldmann and shot completely in sepia tone. The video begins with Wade sitting alone in a bar. As he gets up and goes outside everything and everybody starts going backwards as he walks back to his house. When he gets there, his lover is waiting there, crying after their fight. When he hugs her, time goes back to normal and they go inside.



Chart performance


"What I Meant to Say" debuted at number sixty-nine on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of October 28, 1995.
