You scare them all
and they won’t go
You tell them all
still they don’t know
You hide the tears
you’ll never show
And kill yourself
when he says "No"

He smiles at you
then calls you strange
And though you know
he’ll never change
You love him still
and you feel low
When he says
that fateful "No"

Him do you follow?
to the world of regret
Or all of your friends?
taking all you can get
I’m sorry, you can’t
you’re still in his debt
You’ll go with him
I’m willing to bet

He’s laughing at you
laugh back in confusion
He talks about you
and comes to the conclusion
That you have nothing
ever to say
"We wouldn’t work."
You died that day.

So when your friends
yell "Come on, let’s go!"
don’t leave the loose ends
without chance to be sewn
kindly refuse
and go his way
maybe you’ll meet
with them another day

he may soon notice
that you’ve always felt low
and ask you instead
but echoing in your head
is that word full of dread
that’ll haunt ‘til you’re dead
"No."
