Please Say No

It was a freezing night and not a single cloud
I had a couple in me so I reached out
And then I heard your voice
Felt you all inside
I prayed for the distance to keep us in line
But there’s things I’ve done you understand like no one else
There’s pain I kept buried deep inside myself
I’ve been saying for forever «hey that’s not me»
But me with you is who I think I’ll always be
Please say no
Please say no
Please say no
Please say no
Say anything you will
Except how you’d have me still
Say anything but no
And I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go
It was the peak of summer and I thought I’d drowned
We couldn’t get close
All the kids were around
But I could read you plain
You want a different life
Someday hell, you might ruin mine
I’ve lately come to wonder what it might feel like
If one last time we went and did this right
And someone no one possibly could know our names
Someone no one bothers to remember a face
Please say no
Please say no
Please say no
Please say no, no, no, no, no
Say anything you will
Except how you’d have me still
Say anything but no
And I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go
With you
With you
With you
If all you’re really hoping for is peace of mind
Don’t come to me with questions, you’ll just waste your time
Exactly what you’re looking for is what you’ll find
All I see around me is a losing bind
Please say no
Please say no
Please say no
Please say no, no, no, no, no
Say anything you will
Except how you’d have me still
Say anything but no
And I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go
Say anything but no
And I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go
