Just One Word
I've been told I can't say no
No matter how hard I try
And now it's finally broken me
I drew the word from my lips
But at the wrong time
You thought about her, I could see it
Now I glance from the corner
Watching her in your arms
I wish I could say it didn't hurt me
But the countless times I've seen myself where she stands
In dreams, or perhaps, wishes
Would make me out to be a liar
I wish I hadn't said what I did
The word I could never say
Said at the wrong time
The chasm driving between us
It could've been avoided
If I had just said yes
When you asked me to dance
I denied for her
To make her feel loved
But now I sit here
Wondering if I did the right thing
Watching her float in your grasp
The words I said
I didn't mean them
I take them all back
If you ask me again
"Can I dance with you?"
Would I say yes?
Author Notes: This came from somewhere deep inside me but if I told you itβd be weird.
