Yes. No. Two short words. That’s all. [Verse 1] You say yes just to keep the peace, while something in you whispers no. You say no when you’re scared to leap, then wonder where that road could go. Yes to love, no to control. Yes to something good for your soul. No when somebody crosses the line. But why is it so hard to choose in time? [Pre-Chorus] One little answer can open a door. One little answer can close it forevermore. [Chorus] Yes and no, two short words, but so hard to say at the right time. Yes and no, simple as they sound, one can lift you up, one can turn your whole life around. Say yes when you mean it. Say no when you know. Two little words, but when do you let them go? [Verse 2] Say yes when a child says, “Stay with me.” No to the screen when there’s someone to see. Yes to a friend who was there from the start. No to the ones who only come when they want your heart. Yes to adventure, yes to a dream. No when something isn’t what it seems. Yes to forgiveness when healing can start. No when forgiving means breaking your heart. [Chorus] Yes and no, two short words, but so hard to say at the right time. Yes and no, simple as they sound, one can lift you up, one can turn your whole life around. [Breakdown] Yes to dancing. No to pretending. Yes to beginning. No to never-ending. Yes, I was wrong. No, that’s enough. Yes, I forgive you. No, this isn’t love. [Bridge] A yes too early can cost you years. A no too late can end in tears. Sometimes courage means walking away. Sometimes courage means choosing to stay. No one can tell you which answer is right. You learn by living, one choice at a time. [Final Chorus] Yes and no, two short words, but so hard to say at the right time. Yes to your freedom. No to the lie. Yes to the chances you’re afraid to try. Yes when your heart says, “This is where I belong.” No when you finally know something is wrong. [Outro] Yes. No. Two short words. So easy to learn. So hard to say... at the right time.
