These three useless words
bang against my teeth,
guarded by my lips they want to be released;
I once swallowed my thoughts to keep them inside,
But it seems my naïve heart has kept them alive.
I'm scared they might escape with every passing smile. I need you and want you to be mine.

But it seems my naïve heart has kept them alive.
