THREE LITTLE WORDS

It’s not as if I picked you out
To teach me what life’s all about
Heaven knows you tripped me up at every turn
But I tried to set aside all my concerns
And comfort you with those three little words

Insults tripping off your tongue
Raining down like blows they’d come
People say we get what we deserve
Well it was my mistake to stay and hold my nerve
I guess I longed to hear those three little words

I felt at times I was made of glass
Would surely break but still I last
Still somehow living in reverse
How was it everything I said just made you worse
Lost in the wind, those three little words

It’s sticks and stones will break your bones
That’s how the saying goes
 But you didn’t need no sticks and stones to make me hurt
Oh I’ve barely started knowing what I learnt
Chasing those three little words

 Even bowing out you first made sure
 Your legacy would be secure
 You left your little soldiers in reserve
 Like little vials of vitriol preserved
 Poisoned by those three little words

Right at the end you looked at me
Mustering every final bit of energy
And then with timing most absurd
You whispered and no question what occurred
I heard
I heard
I heard those three little words
