lyrics

TRYING TO SAY NO

I am never trysting anyone, that part of my heart is lost and gone
Promises unkept depressed and under slept
Always wondering why I never see it coming
People sure are something
I will never know just why I can't say no
​
Spending time with you was bad for me
I let you in my life easily
I saw warning signs but I didn't mind
Cause I figured I'm a beggar not a chooser
Even with abusers
Never saying no I'll never say no
​
Everything that happens starts and ends the same
I should know by now that I'm the one to blame
Why do I
Give my heart out just to know that one day
I will cry and cry
​
I do not wish harm to anyone
Sorry that it's time that you are gone
I can't be your friend
It will never end
Friends don't put their friends in such traumatic danger
Now you're just a stranger
And so on I'll go
Just trying to say no.
