Lyrics
i said it too many times
I have expressed these words frequently
in the pastout of habit to make things last
Traditionally, I've said them to ensure longevity
maybe i never meant it at all
Perhaps I never truly meant them
i don't know somehow it seemed wrong
I'm uncertain, but it felt incorrect
three words that i've used and abused
Referring to the three words: "I need you"
thrown around in vain
Uttered without genuine purpose
at times they made me insane
At times, causing distress or madness
but now they're a part of my daily routine
Now integrated into my daily expressions
when I think of it it's the most natural thing
Seems natural when I contemplate it
it may be the biggest cliché of them all
Possibly the most overused expression
cause it's true yeah you yeah you
However, it holds true because of you
you make it so easy to say i need you
You effortlessly evoke the words "I need you"
you never turn me away
You never reject me
back me up when I win and I fail
Supporting me in success and failure
you shattered my walls
You broke down my emotional barriers
and appreciate all of these flaws
Accepting and valuing all my imperfections
and when you say those words I believe them
When you speak these words, I trust them
in your eyes I can see them
I can perceive sincerity in your eyes
it's like I knew I was waiting for you
As if I were anticipating your presence
you make it so easy to say i want you
You make it effortless to say "I want you"
oh but we fight oh we fight and I feel I'm gonna die
We engage in conflict, and it feels overwhelming
but when we come to our senses we both realize
Upon reflection, we recognize our love is genuine
that since we got that love that is true
Our authentic love facilitates forgiveness
it makes it easier to say I forgive you
It becomes easier to say "I forgive you"
now you're a part of my daily routine
You are now a routine part of my life
when I think of you it's the most natural thing
Thinking of you feels natural and normal
And this may be the biggest cliché of them all
Possibly the most clichéd expression, yet true
that's cause it's true yeah you yeah you
Because of you, saying "I love you" is easy
you make it so easy to say i love you
You effortlessly inspire the words "I love you"
