I Said No

Opened up that dusty bottle we saved too long
Thought it might still be worth drinking, but we were wrong
You said, "I need to ask you one thing before I go"
And you asked if I still loved you, and I said no

And I said no, and it cut me like a knife
And I said no, and I watched all of the life drain from your eyes
When I said no

Don't know when I lost my talent for loving you
'Cause it had already happened before I knew
I realized I'd made my mind up, it happened slow
Asked myself if I could change it, and I said no

And I said no (And I said no), and it cut me like a knife
And I said no (I said no), I could never be your wife
And I shouldn't have tried, and I said no

I guess there'll be no celebration and there'll be no rings
We'll divide all our belongings and I'll pack my things
You said, "You need to ask me one thing before I go
Think I ever could forgive you?" and I said no

And I said no, and it cut me like a knife
And you said no, oh, and I'll be sorry all my life
I made you cry when I said no
