I wish that I could have the nerve
To tell you those three little words
I l-o-v-e y-o-u
Was that so hard for me to do?

Eeny-meeny-miny-moe
I never should've let you go
You were the one, but now you're gone
And I'm just left here holdin' on
To everything I can
But you're slippin' through my hands

You said that we were solid
But it's feelin' more like sand
And now I'm in my head tryna understand
Sometimes even good things end mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm mm-mm, mm-mm, mm

Oh, I still can't say those words
I don't think this'll ever work
And it's 'cause of me, I failed to be
The one to free you from that cell
We went from: Hey
To learnin' all your friends' names
Stayin' on the phone up late, oh
Now you're gone how can I ever say
Hmm-mm-mm i love you
Hmm-mm-mm i love you

I wish that I could have the nerve
To tell you those three little words
I l-o-v-e y-o-u
Was that so hard for me to do?

Eeny-meeny-miny-moe
I never should've let you go
You were the one, but now you're gone
And I'm just left here holdin' on
To everything I can
But you're slippin' through my hands

You said that we were solid
But it's feelin' more like sand
And now I'm in my head (now I'm in my head)
Tryna understand
Sometimes even good things end

I'm learnin' to let go
Of what I can't control now
You slipped through my hands
And now they're gettin' cold
I'm learnin' to let go
Though it's not what I hoped
No point in holdin' on you're already gone

I wish that I could have the nerve
To tell you those three little words
I l-o-v-e y-o-u
Was that so hard for me to do?

Eeny-meeny-miny-moe
I never should've let you go
You were the one, but now you're gone
And I'm just left here holdin' on
Mm-mm, mm-mm (and now I'm in my head)
Mm-mm, mm-mm (tryna understand)
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm
