Some people just can’t bring themselves
To say three simple words
The only words that matter
When they most need to be heard
Those foolish hearts will pay
The price and let love slip away
Not knowing if another love
Will ever come their way

Three simple words
That clearly are the hardest words to say
Couldn’t bring myself to say them
And I let you walk away
Three other words describe me now
I’m lonely sad and blue
It would have been much easier
To tell you I love you

Words are our best way to tell
Each other how we feel
It shouldn’t be so hard to say
I love you when its real
If I could somehow manage just
To say those three words now
Could you forgive this sorry
Fool and take me back somehow?

I took an arrow to the heart
That left me lonely sad and blue
Though I couldn’t say I love
You I am certain that you knew

Three simple words
That clearly are the hardest words to say
Couldn’t bring myself to say them
And I let you walk away
Three other words describe me now
I’m lonely sad and blue
It would have been much easier
To tell you I love you
