Three Empty Words (MTV Unplugged)

Lyrics

[Live Intro] This is, uh, one of those really special songs Something, uh, a song that showed me how important lyrics are when writing music And how important talking about something that actually happened to you And talking about something that is true to your heart makes a great song and that's why I love this And I hope you do too, this is called Three Empty Words [Verse 1] I'll pick you up at the same time At the same place, the same old drive We'll just talk about our day To try to fill the awkward space tonight We'll play the songs we used to love While we try to fall in love again We don't know who's wrong or right We don't even care enough to fight [Chorus] We're going through the motions 'Cause we can't fix what's broken, yeah And I know it's gonna hurt But darling I'll go first 'Cause I won't keep on saying those three empty words No, I won't keep on saying those three empty words [Verse 2] We're still talking every day I'm running out of things to say to ya What's really gonna break my heart Is to have to tell your little brother And it might be easier to stay But it'll never be the same, no, yeah And if something doesn't change Then we'll keep on sinking further [Chorus] Woah, we're going through the motions 'Cause we can't fix what's broken, yeah And I know it's gonna hurt But darling I'll go first 'Cause I won't keep on saying those three empty words No, I won't keep on saying those three empty words [Bridge] Those three empty words Will only make things worse I'm tired, I can't take this anymore Those three empty words Will only make things worse We're tired, we can't take this anymore [Chorus] We're going through motions 'Cause we can't fix what's broken, yeah And I know it's gonna hurt But darling I'll go first 'Cause I won't keep on saying those three empty words We don't have to keeping on saying those three empty words No, I won't keep on saying those three empty words [Live Outro] Thank you so much
