Three Empty Words - Shawn Mendes (lyrics) Рџћµ Apr 2026

: The difficulty of being the first one to say it's over ("But darling, I’ll go first") to prevent further emotional "sinking".

Oh, we're going through the motion, yeahCause we can't fix what's brokenAnd I know it's gonna hurtBut darling I'll go firstCause I won't keep on saying those three empty words

We're going through the motionsCause we can't fix what's brokenAnd I know it's gonna hurtBut darling I'll go firstCause I won't keep on saying those three empty wordsNo, I won't keep on saying those three empty words, oh Three Empty Words - Shawn Mendes (Lyrics) рџЋµ

Though we're still talking everydayI'm running out of things to say to yaWhat's really gonna break my heartIs to have to tell your little brother

It might be easier to stayBut it'll never be the same, no, oh noAnd if something doesn't changeThen we'll keep on sinking further Core Meaning It might be easier to stayBut
