Three Missing Words

from Conspiracy Theory by Kevin Blight

/

about

Written after I took a lover home...true story.

lyrics

I have driven you home tonight through the pouring rain
Your hair and eyes were shining bright like you were seventeen again
You and I know there were things unsaid
As the wheels of my car turned
But I can't bring myself to say those three missing words

You turned to me as if to speak but the words died on your lips
Instead you made as if to reach for my face with your fingertips
And you and I stole a farewell kiss as the engine gently purred
I couldn't bring myself to say those three missing words

They's be so easy to say to a woman like you
But there's too much at stake
And I can't take them back, even if I wanted to

So I'm looking at your coffee cup with the slightest trace of lipstick
Thinking words can really screw you up like a two bit fairground mystic
As you and I spend this night apart inside our separate worlds
I wonder if I'll ever say those three missing words
