Lyrics
I said it like a friend to you
Expressing a statement in a friendly manner
But that ain't how I wanted to
Acknowledging a desire different from the friendly expression
Those three lonely little words
Referring to the powerful impact of three important words
Can fly away like little birds
Highlighting the vulnerability of love, which can easily be lost
You can count a heart in hurts
Stating that emotional pain can be measured by the heart's wounds
I'm picking at my nails again
Engaging in a nervous habit, possibly due to emotional tension
Yeah you know how I feel
Confirming a shared understanding of feelings
And you know why I'm hesitating then
Expressing hesitation and uncertainty in the context of love
I have loved and I have learned
Reflecting on past experiences of love and lessons learned
From pretty boys and pretty girls
Indicating diverse experiences with both genders
How to count a heart in hurts
Reiterating the theme of measuring emotional pain
Oh you went quiet, so I just went quiet too
Noticing the partner's silence and responding in kind
I should've said something, but you could've said something too.
Expressing regret for not communicating and expecting reciprocity
Let me be that one for you darling
Offering to be a supportive figure for the partner
Let me be that one that you hold on to
Desiring to be the one the partner relies on
You've got to hold tight to what's good
Encouraging the partner to hold onto positive aspects
Let me be that one for you darling
Reiteration of the desire to be a supportive presence
Seems I'm back to my old ways again
Returning to old habits and patterns in the relationship
Trying to hide this loving gaze again
Trying to conceal affectionate feelings once again
We're just dancing out of turn
Describing a relationship that is out of sync
And when we kiss goodbye it burns
Highlighting the painful aspect of parting with a kiss
Oh you went quiet, so I just went quiet too
Responding to partner's silence with a reciprocal silence
I should've said something, but you could've said something too.
Expressing a missed opportunity for communication
Let me be that one for you darling
Reiteration of the desire to be a supportive figure
Let me be that one that you hold on to
Emphasizing the importance of holding onto positive elements
You've got to hold tight to what's good
Encouraging resilience and perseverance in the relationship
Let me be that one for you darling
Repeating the offer to be a reliable support for the partner
Let me be that one that you hold on to
Emphasizing the importance of being a constant presence
Let me be that one for you darling
Continuing the plea to be a dependable support
Let me be that one that you hold on to
Stressing the desire to be the one the partner can rely on
Let me be that one for you darling
Repeating the offer to be a trustworthy presence
Let me be that one for you darling
Final plea to be a reliable and supportive figure for the partner
