Lyric discussion by leerish 

actions/behavior > verbal communication

that's what I read from this song. Every time a boyfriend tells me he loves me for the first time, I feel like rolling my eyes and saying "well duh, you act like it" or "yeah I know, I don't need you to tell me that". Of course, I never actually say this.

But it seems like the narrator is commenting on the triviality of words like these. He is emphasizing the power of non-verbal communication. Words don't matter -- which is why I hate it when people tell me they love me. Things like that are more effectively SHOWN than TOLD.

Your comment is the most accurate. Thanks!

@leerish sometimes people NEED to hear the loving words like I love you or I’m sorry. The rest of the words I agree with you on being best to be shown by action.
