Three Little Words
Three little words
Their both dying to hear
And three little words
They're not gonna let
Reach the others ear
Because they're too scared
Of what it might bring
Hopefully a like-wise response
But maybe a difference of feeling
Or possibly it could render
A sweet and simple "me too"
But later discover
What was meant was
A cold and complex "not you"
So I'm afraid
This story's ending
Leaves our lovers
no more than spending
Spending their time
Wondering what could have been
Had they only had the courage
To share three little words
That had come,
deep from within.
