Weight of Three Words

Verse 1

Midnight rolls in quiet

Standing in the doorway again

Checking every window lock I feel very tired Heavy heart won't ever soften

Thinking of the thing you said

Pre-Chorus

Waiting for a light to flicker

Smallest sound makes me jump

Watch the hour ticking faster

Can you feel my pulse

Can you feel it race

Chorus

Don't say you love me if you mean it

Don't say you love me if you mean it

I cannot take the weight of those three words

Not tonight

Not tonight

Don't say you love me if you mean it

Verse 2

Cigarettes are burning low

Left the water running down the sink

Funny how the habit breaks

Found another way to go

Writing out a letter to yourself

Trying not to make mistakes

Pre-Chorus

Waiting for a light to flicker

Smallest sound makes me jump

Watch the hour ticking faster

Can you feel my pulse

Can you feel it race

Chorus

Don't say you love me if you mean it

Don't say you love me if you mean it

I cannot take the weight of those three words

Not tonight

Not tonight

Don't say you love me if you mean it

Bridge

Maybe if we both keep quiet

Then the truth won't have to surface

We can live inside the riot

It serves a better purpose

Better purpose

Chorus

Don't say you love me if you mean it

Don't say you love me if you mean it

I cannot take the weight of those three words

Not tonight

Not tonight

Don't say you love me if you mean it

Don't say you love me if you mean it

Don't say you love me if you mean it
