I Didn’t Say No (Rock Version)

[intro] Last time I saw you was a year ago You had to go far away, and I didn’t say no But as time passed, my worries started to grow No, no, no, I didn’t want you to go [drop] [verse] You had dreams to chase, you said A world to conquer, wings to spread I just smiled, and watched you go No, no, no, I didn’t want you to go But I didn’t say no [chorus] I wonder if I should’ve tried If holding you back meant you’d stay by my side I let the words sit, never made 'em show Time moves on And I didn’t say no… [Extended vocals and guitar flow together] [Guitar Solo] [verse] No messages, never asked why You never called back, just let it slide I replay that day when the leaves still fell And find myself where dark thoughts dwell [bridge] I told myself, love’s not a chain But maybe I let too much slip away What if no was all I had to say? I didn’t want you to go away But I didn’t say no [final chorus] I wonder if I should’ve tried If holding you back meant you’d stay by my side I let the words sit, never made 'em show Time moves on And I didn’t say no… [Extended vocals and guitar flow together] [Guitar Solo] [outro] Can’t help but feel I played myself That I put my heart on the shelf Was I a fool? Maybe it’s true Because sometimes… I still think of you....
