I Couldn'T Say No
It flooded the heart with its abundant love
I tried to say no, I tried to say no, no
I couldn't say no
It was there to comfort me when misery seized
I turned to it for an advice when the world opened to swallow me
I could have said no
But its doors were always opened while yours were closed
And locked with hungry hatred that pushed me away
I couldn't say no
It gave me strength of the beast when your words plotted my downfall
I couldn't say no but yes
Yes to its soothing love that paid joy to my bitter heart
For it and I found endless happiness
Inspired by love between in-laws, When Ndumiso left his wife for her sister.
