Anyway
3 Feet Smaller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Isn't it enough for you when I swear that you're my baby
Can't we just be together without saying those 3 words
You don't agree with that, you just say 'it hurts'
For me it's not easy
Why can't I say to you anyway
It can't be true that this is a reason for you
To quit with me and leave me alone in my room
Give me a second chance cause I'm just a man
I'll learn how to say those 3 words over and over again
Why can't I say to you anyway
Why can't I say that I'm sorry
Why can't I say to you anyway
Why can't I say that I'm sorry
In "Anyway," 3 Feet Smaller sings about the difficulties of expressing love and apologizing in a relationship. The lyrics express a sense of helplessness and frustration on the part of the singer, who desires the emotional connection and physical presence of their partner without being forced to verbally express their love. This reluctance to say "I love you" leads to tension and ultimately a potential breakup. The singer pleads for a second chance, promising to learn how to express their love more effectively.
The first verse of the song illustrates the singer's internal conflict, as they reveal that their helplessness has consumed them. The chorus expresses the singer's desire to apologize and reconnect with their partner, but they seem unable to find the words to do so. The second verse acknowledges that the partner has already given up on the relationship, leaving the singer alone in their room. The bridge of the song is the turning point, as the singer promises to do better and learn how to say those three difficult words. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, longing to apologize and express love but still struggling to find the words.
Overall, "Anyway" is a relatable song for anyone who has struggled to communicate their emotions in a relationship, particularly when it comes to expressing love and apologizing for mistakes. The lyrics capture the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of miscommunication and frustration with a partner, highlighting the importance of effective communication and vulnerability in relationships.
