I L O V E Y O U
[Chorus]
I wish that I could have the nerve
To tell you those three little words
"I L-O-V-E Y-O-U"
Was that so hard for me to do?
Eeny-meeny-miny-moe
I never should've let you go
You were the one, but now you're gone
And I'm just left here holdin' on

[Post-Chorus]
To everything I can
But you're slippin' through my hands
You said that we were solid
But it's feelin' more like sand
And now I'm in my head
Tryna understand
Sometimes even good things end

[Refrain]
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm

[Verse]
All of these times you slid on by
All of thesе flames that I let die
Just a fеw words and I'd be fine
Just a few words and you'd be mine
Only war here is in my mind
A court of my fears won't let me fight
Should've put my heart on the line
Now you're gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Hmm-mm-mm
Can't always get what you want
Hmm-mm-mm
Sometimes you play your cards wrong

[Chorus]
I wish that I could have the nerve
To tell you those three little words
"I L-O-V-E Y-O-U"
Was that so hard for me to do?
Eeny-meeny-miny-moe
I never should've let you go
You were the one, but now you're gone
And I'm just left here holdin' on

[Post-Chorus]
To everything I can
But you're slippin' through my hands
You said that we were solid
But it's feelin' more like sand
And now I'm in my head (Now I'm in my head)
Tryna understand
Sometimes even good things end

[Bridge]
I'm learnin' to let go
Of what I can't control now
You slipped through my hands
And now they're gettin' cold
I'm learnin' to let go
Though it's not what I hoped
No point in holdin' on
You're already gone
[Chorus]
I wish that I could have the nerve
To tell you those three little words
"I L-O-V-E Y-O-U"
Was that so hard for me to do?
Eeny-meeny-miny-moe
I never should've let you go
You were the one, but now you're gone
And I'm just left here holdin' on

[Refrain]
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm
