Three Words details the story of the raw anger and frustration that comes immediately after a big fight in a relationship or worse, a breakup. The three words mentioned in the song seem so obviously to be ‘I love you’, yet to me those three words were ‘are you happy?’. I never regretted saying ‘I lo...
[Chorus]
I ripped the pictures off the wall
Two minutes after you left
I took two hits from my bowl
Three words I came to regret
No, you’re not coming back today
Promise I’ll get that through my head
When it was all said and done
I wish something’s went unsaid
[Post Chorus]
Three words haunt me
Three words haunt me
Three words haunt me till I'm dead
[x4]
[Verse 1]
Mistaked your innocence the first night that we met
Might keep that one picture safe deep inside my head
Just in case love remains the same
Know it’s just a feeling
I could have been what you needed
Now usually I'd call to apologize like it's my fault
I guess it’s time you come back home and rip my heart out
Cause it all feels the same when nothing makes you feel at all
I’m choking on my own resolve
I hope we end up better off
[Chorus]
I ripped the pictures off the wall
Two minutes after you left
I took two hits from my bowl
Three words I came to regret
No, you’re not coming back today
Promise I’ll get that through my head
When it was all said and done
I wish something’s went unsaid
[Post Chorus]
Three words haunt me
Three words haunt me
Three words haunt me till I'm dead
[x4]
[Verse 2]
I tried to love all of the broken parts of you with the rest
But I ain’t no saint, I hold my sins inside this gun to my head
And maybe these words don’t really matter like they feel when they’re said
But I can’t pretend, I’ll live in the thick of my intent
And maybe you’re a runner but that doesn’t mean you love to be on the road
I would give up double in the rerun if it meant I wasn’t all alone
And if I could rewrite pilots I would stop this plane from taking off
It’s taking everything I’ve got to stay high on you now
[Chorus]
I ripped the pictures off the wall
Two minutes after you left
I took two hits from my bowl
Three words I came to regret
No, you’re not coming back today
Promise I’ll get that through my head
When it was all said and done
I wish something’s went unsaid
[Post Chorus]
Three words haunt me
Three words haunt me
Three words haunt me till I'm dead
[x4]
