The Three Words I Can’t Take Back - Ezo (Lyric)

Описание: (Verse 1)
It’s a Tuesday in January 2026
And I’m still trying to find a way to make the pieces fix
The Christmas lights are down, but the shadows still remain
Tracing your silhouette against the window pane
I remember that night in the middle of July
When I let the secret slip and looked you in the eye
The air was warm and heavy, the world felt soft and slow
I said the thing that once it's said, you can’t ever let it go.
(Pre-Chorus)
I watched them land upon your skin and settle in your hair
I watched them build a bridge to a place that wasn't there
Now they’re ringing in the hallway, they’re echoing in the hall
The tallest pride I ever had before the hardest fall.
(Chorus)
And oh, it’s the three words I can’t take back
They’re written in the stone, they’re bleeding through the black
"I love you" feels like a weapon that I handed to your hand
A promise of a kingdom built upon a sinking sand
I wish I could un-speak them, leave the air all cold and still
But I said them, and I meant them, and I guess I always will.
(Verse 2)
You didn't say them back, you just looked down at your feet
And the silence was a winter that I knew I couldn't beat
Now I see you in the city, or I see you in a post
And I’m haunted by the confession that I value the most
I try to swallow down the sound, I try to lock the door
But the ghost of that sentence is pacing on the floor
How do you un-know the truth when it’s out there in the light?
How do I take back the heart I gave away that night?
(Chorus)
Oh, it’s the three words I can’t take back
They’re written in the stone, they’re bleeding through the black
"I love you" feels like a weapon that I handed to your hand
A promise of a kingdom built upon a sinking sand
I wish I could un-speak them, leave the air all cold and still
But I said them, and I meant them, and I guess I always will.
(Bridge)
They’re hanging in the atmosphere, they’re part of every breath
A little declaration that’s been lonely unto death
If I could reach into the past and catch them on my tongue
I’d still be whole, I’d still be safe, I’d still be young.
(Guitar/Piano Solo - Emotional, building with a sense of regret and longing)
(Chorus)
Yeah, it’s the three words I can’t take back
The permanent reminder of the everything I lack
"I love you" is the anchor that is dragging me down deep
The only secret in this world I wasn't meant to keep
I wish I could un-speak them, leave the air all cold and still
But I said them... yeah, I said them... and I guess I always will.
(Outro)
Eight little letters...
One massive mistake.
I love you.
I love you.
I’m sorry for my heart... and the way it had to break.
(The piano sustains a final, lonely note that slowly fades into silence)
