As a black kid from the hood. I received this song on a psp demo disc 15 years ago and this turned me out to rock, metal,and alternative from that day forward.i grew up in the Milwaukee,WI professional symphony orchestra first chair bass, 12 years. Music is universal and that’s my first love and my main outlet. I play 4 instruments, and do 4 genres of music, which I write and compose. I know it doesn’t matter on skin color, I’m just saying, this song is the reason I fell in love with music out of the stereotype

@scraemO

My dad would blast this and now im blasting it. Hits different when I'm missing her

@derpaderpaderpader

Peak 2000's music, peak 2000's style.  The definition of a generation.  Absolute banger of a song.

@coltonb4501

Nostalgia brought me here, I miss the days of plugging in the ol' PS2 and playing some MX VS ATV and jamming out to bangers like this. What I'd give to wake up tomorrow morning and it all be a wicked dream and I'm 8yrs old on Christmas break.

@dannyshirley1858

His solo is amazing

@brandongarcia3478

Seriously where would heartbroken people be today without this song

@RandProductions45

From that psp demo disk 18 years ago to today, still loving this song.

@brinshido3953

4 Beers deep ,at a Bar and this banger comes on . Every 40 yr plus man singing it .

@P1983sche

The way this song starts is just bad ass.

Lyrics:
Looking back at me, I see that I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in things I cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Somethin' strong, like a drug, that gets me high
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so
Cold to you, I'm sorry 'bout all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You can see me stand on my own again
'Cause now I can see
You are the antidote that got me by
Somethin' strong, like a drug, that got me high
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
I never meant to be so cold
I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me there's just no hope
I never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am (is I'm sorry for the way)
I never meant to be so cold (I am)
Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am (is I'm sorry for the way)
I never meant to be so cold (I am)
Never meant to be so cold

@JayRayOfficial

I still love this f*****g song and I get goosebumps every single time I play this. I hope this band comes back alive some day. Cheers from Finland.

@ChrisWarrior92-e2b

that guy really sung his heart out.. wow. amazing talent 😎

@K-aR-Oh

I'm telling you when you get older these songs aren't just "fun" to listen to anymore. 
They will creep up and hit right in the heart.

@ll2323

I was in high school when this came out… I was a complete loner. Hoodie up, earbuds in… this band helped me through so much bullying, self hate and parental trauma. I couldn’t imagine coming out whole without listening to this band.

@juliagaetano5629

Jamin out to this still into 2024!

@keiganthetennessean1796

2025 here. This song came out the year I turned 16 and I was rocking at the time. NEVER gets old.

@TheWalrusPoacher

Song STILL slaps in 2023.  This is one of those songs that will never get old to me.:

@cassandrakahles29

This was my graduation song from rehab. 10 years clean now, but this song takes me right back to how I felt. Such a powerful song.

@itatsuuchiha96

The memories I have with this song

@jadedsagg9546

The instrumental flows with the lyrics so beautifully
