Three Words
Love Beyond Words: Sara Diamond's Three Words Meaning
Lyrics
If you really loved me
If you truly loved me, there should be tangible expressions of that love.
You would've shown me
Actions speak louder than words; love should be demonstrated.
Cause baby using those three words
Using the phrase "I love you" alone is not sufficient.
Only gets you so far
Mere verbal expressions of love have limitations.
You could've taken a second to look at me
There was an opportunity to pay attention to the speaker, but it was missed.
Always wanna find a way to
Always trying to apologize and express love, but the effort seems insufficient.
Say sorry lack of love you given, please
Apologies are frequent, indicating a lack of the desired love.
I've had enough
The speaker has reached a point of frustration and dissatisfaction.
Is he trying
Questioning the sincerity of the partner's efforts.
Am I sitting here wasting my time
Doubting if time spent with the partner is worthwhile.
This is dying
The relationship is deteriorating or coming to an end.
All you say is ""we can save it""
The partner's reassurance that "we can save it" may ring hollow.
If you really loved me
Reiteration of the idea that love requires tangible demonstrations.
You would've shown me
Emphasizing the need for visible signs of affection.
Cause baby usin' those three words
Repeating the idea that relying solely on verbal expressions has limitations.
Only gets you so far
Highlighting the inadequacy of using the phrase "I love you."
If you really loved me
Reiterating the expectation of tangible proof of love.
You would've shown me
Stressing the importance of actions in demonstrating love.
Cause baby usin' those three words
Underlining the limitations of relying on verbal declarations of love.
Only gets you so far
Pointing out the shortcomings of using the three words without accompanying actions.
Your words are filled with nothing, baby
Criticizing the partner's words as empty and lacking substance.
Talk is cheap
Emphasizing the dissatisfaction with mere talk and the desire for meaningful actions.
I don't want this love so lazy
Rejecting a love that is passive and lacks effort.
We can't rebuild on promises that you won't keep
Highlighting the impossibility of rebuilding a relationship on unfulfilled promises.
Now I've had enough
Reiterating the speaker's frustration and reaching a breaking point.
Is he trying
Questioning if the partner is genuinely making an effort.
Or am I sitting here wasting my time
Considering the possibility of wasting time in the relationship.
This is dying
Describing the relationship as deteriorating or approaching its end.
All you say is ""we can save it""
Expressing doubt about the partner's assurance that the relationship can be saved.
If you really loved me
