If I said “yes”
To all that you ask
don’t hold your breath.
Why not just bloody your heart as a task?

I’m too strong a person to fall for love.
Can’t you see why
you’re not my “knight” from above?

Yes! I know the way I look at you!
Your motions, your movements…
I wanted to.

You exude gentlemen, my vision’s distorted.
You deserve a lady
with me you’ll get shorted.

Believe me, I hear what you’re saying.
You don’t hear me,
but I’m not staying!

By god, please just leave me be!
I’m not what you need
and it’s killing me


My heart was filled with too much discretion.
I just couldn’t answer
your simple question.

Now you’re gone, and I assess
what would have happened
If I said “yes”
