This song has changed over time after to listening to it heaps. I kinda agree with OrigGrungeGangsta. Supposing the four letter word is LOVE, its about all the consequences of saying the word love to another person. I think the song is asking why it matters so much that to say it at the right time and why its so important that people mean it when they say it.
Also, it could be someone who loves someone telling them they do and then because that person doesn't love in return, they have nothing to say.
