4 Letter Word
Navigating Love's Maze: Decoding David Cook's '4 Letter Word'
Lyrics
Hold your tongue
Hold your words back, be cautious in speech
Hold it tight
Keep your words restrained and controlled
Or we'll be destined to fall
Otherwise, our relationship is bound to fail
Like the sun did tonight
Similar to how the sun has set for the day
Leave it out, 'cause it might
Avoid discussing it, as it may
Take the both of us down before we get it right
Lead to the downfall of both of us before we find the solution
Oh I know just what you're thinking
Acknowledging the partner's thoughts
But if we ever let it go
If we release our grip on the relationship
I see us slipping away
I envision us drifting apart
Starting to fade
Beginning to lose strength
Crumbling down till we both hit the ground
Collapse until both of us hit rock bottom
You know if we never say
If we don't express our feelings
We'll never crash and burn,
We can avoid a disastrous end
'Cause love is a four letter word
Because love is a challenging experience
Looking back, now I see
Reflecting on the past, realizing the impact
Seeing just how it feels to cause such misery
Understanding the pain caused
All I want is to keep this moment alive
Desiring to preserve the current moment
Featuring you and me
Involving both partners
And I know just what you're thinking
Recognizing the partner's thoughts again
But if we ever let it go
Warning against letting go of the relationship
I see us slipping away
Anticipating a gradual separation
Starting to fade
Starting to lose vibrancy
Crumbling down till we both hit the ground
Collapsing until both partners face failure
You know if we never say
Emphasizing the importance of verbalizing emotions
We'll never crash and burn
To avoid a destructive end
'Cause love is a four letter word
Because love is challenging and complex
I am afraid of losing all that we had now
Expressing fear of losing the relationship
A four letter word
Referring to love as a four-letter word
It could all get ruined
Potential destruction if love is spoken aloud
If it's ever said out loud
Highlighting the fragility of expressing love openly
Slipping away
Reiterating the theme of gradual separation
Starting to fade
Progressively losing its intensity
Crumbling down till we both hit the ground
Collapsing until both partners hit a low point
You know if we never say
Emphasizing the importance of communication
We'll never crash and burn
To prevent a catastrophic end
'Cause love is a four letter word
Reiterating that love is a challenging experience
I see us slipping away
Anticipating a gradual separation once again
Starting to fade
Noticing the diminishing connection
Crumbling down till we both hit the ground
Collapsing until reaching a point of no return
You know if we never say
Stressing the importance of verbalizing feelings
We'll never crash and burn
To avoid a tragic end
'Cause love is a four letter word
Reiterating that love is a challenging experience
'Cause love is a four letter word
Concluding that love is indeed a four-letter word
