We're going through the motionsCause we can't fix what's broken, noAnd I know it's gonna hurtBut darling I'll go firstI won't keep on saying those three empty wordsWe don't have to keep on saying those three empty wordsOh, I can't keep on saying those three empty words

Three Empty Words - song and lyrics by Shawn Mendes | Spotify Three Empty Words - Shawn Mendes (Lyrics) рџЋµ

Mendes has described the song as a personal reflection on a past relationship, capturing the moment when honesty becomes better than prolonging the pain of a "broken" connection that can't be fixed. We're going through the motionsCause we can't fix

: The realization that they don't even "care enough to fight" anymore, signaling total emotional exhaustion. Those three empty words will only make it

: The difficulty of being the first one to say it's over ("But darling, I’ll go first") to prevent further emotional "sinking".

Those three empty words will only make it worseI'm tired, I can't take it anymoreThose three empty words will only make it worseWe're tired, we can't take it anymore
