Three Words  I just love you. Words demand explanation. They require analysis. They are the construction and expression of my thoughts. Of my heart. But they can’t describe it. They can’t describe any of it. They can’t tell you how deep the memories are … or how often I think of them. They can’t scream what I really wanted to say. They are the mask of how I really feel. And they try to disguise the pain, but someone will strip it away. And someone will make those words worthless. So what is a word worth? Nothing. What are three words worth? Nothing. But we say them anyway, because you know. You know … more than anyone – what they mean. You know when I say I love you, I really mean that those three words can’t describe what it is we have. When I say you’re amazing, I know the word is just a cover; a quick way for me to remember all the things that amaze me about you .. a mask for the memories we share … a disguised version of our adventures together. And I really believe that you know, when I say I miss you, it’s not just that. I miss you every moment, and I miss just what your name means to me. It means an alphabet of sounds .. and letters – and words. But none of them really mean anything, because words are based on trust. They rely on how truly and deeply we feel. Remember always that they don’t mean anything. They are letters and they are constructions – but we deconstruct them everyday and we twist them. We manipulate them so that they say what we want them to. But no word, no shape – no photograph .. could ever twist so far that it could begin to explain even a little bit of how I feel. ~~ Le Love In a book in a box in the closet In a line in a song I once heard In a moment on a front porch late one June In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon There it was at the tip of my fingers There it was on the tip of my tongue There you were and I had never been that far There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms And I let it all slip away, What do I do now that you're gone No back up plan, no second chance And no one else to blame All I can hear in the silence that remains Are the words I couldn't say There's a rain that'll never stop falling There's a wall that I've tried to take down What I should've said just wouldn't pass my lips So I held back and now we've come to this And it's too late now, What do I do now that you're gone No back up plan, no second chance And no one else to blame All I can hear in the silence that remains Are the words I couldn't say Are the words I couldn't say I should have found a way to tell you how I felt Now the only one I'm tellin' is myself What do I do now that you're gone No back up plan, no second chance And no one else to blame All I can hear in the silence that remains Are the words I couldn't say What do I do, what do I say And no else to blame All I can hear in the silence that remains Are the words I couldn't say Rascal Flatts Words I Couldn't Say |
