Say No More

Say no more

I think you'll never understand

I have refused the same demand

All my life!

Say no more

In my book there can be no blame

When you pretend I have no shame

You're half right!

All along

You kept trying to pin me down

Turn me into your house clown

If I don't fit the bill

All the same, I loved you then

I love you still!

Want to know the truth, I caught a nasty bug

And when it got a hold of me

I could not shake it free!

A lasting blue note has been haunting me!

It's like an old mistress forever chasing me

But say no more

I may not be an easy man

But the way you played your hand

I couldn't stand!

It's too bad

There is much more we could have done!

But now those days are dead and gone

Nothing lasts!

All along

You made me feel this useless guilt

Can you look back on what we built?

I wonder what you saw in me, tell me was it real?

Was it love? You tell me

And though you think of it

As the cause of my fall!

Never mind, I'm blessed

I'm here at all!
