We'll play the songs we used to loveWhile we try to fall in love againAnd we don't know who's wrong or rightBut we don't even care enough to fight

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 Three Empty Words - Shawn Mendes (Lyrics) рџЋµ

: The realization that they don't even "care enough to fight" anymore, signaling total emotional exhaustion.

I'll pick you up at the same timeAt the same place, the same old driveWe'll just talk about our dayTo try to fill the awkward space tonight Rebel One Publishing

We're going through the motionsCause we can't fix what's brokenAnd I know it's gonna hurtBut darling I'll go firstCause I won't keep on saying those three empty wordsNo, I won't keep on saying those three empty words, oh

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 Universal Music Works

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