The song is about regret over the end of a relationship and not expressing feelings of love before it was too late. It describes starting a conversation that didn't go as planned, not having a chance to say goodbye or apologize, and being left with only memories and imagined conversations. The singer wishes they could go back and fill the empty spaces with "I love you" to show their true feelings and prevent the past from being erased.

All of the lines rehearsed Disappeared from my mind When things got loud One of us running out I should've turned around But I had too much pride
No time for goodbyes
Didn't get to apologize Pieces of a clock that lies broken
If I could take us back, if I could just do that
And write in every empty space the words "I love you" in replace Then maybe time would not erase me If you could only know I never let you go And the words I most regret Are the ones I never meant to leave Unsaid Emily
Silent days, mysteries and mistakes
Who'd be the first to break? I guess we're alike that way He said, she said conversations in my head And that's just where they're gonna stay forever
If I could take us back, if I could just do that
And write in every empty space the words "I love you" in replace Then maybe time would not erase me If you could only know I never let you go And the words I most regret Are the ones I never meant to leave Unsaid Emily
If I could take us back, if I could just do that
And write in every empty space the words "I love you" in replace Then maybe time would not erase me If you could only know I never let you go And the words I most regret Are the ones I never meant to leave Unsaid Emily
