If I Say No

If I Say No

Too much disinformation
Rumours about my life, personal investigation
My love life your interpretation
Available just cynical
And I never look your way twice
I refuse to even pretend to be nice
Love being in love but why pay the price
For another user, another loser

Weigh your options carefully
Carry your burdens without me
If I say no, I don't mean yes
Why even try to second guess
If I say no, I don't mean yes

Maybe's just an ideal assumption
A  victim of presumption
I'm not a beat, a difficult 
Who cares about your little world
Only a victim of your disappointment
Words like a gun that won't go off
Just live with the  and swallow it
You're a real man now, so take a hit and take a hint

Weigh your options carefully
Carry your burdens without me
If I say no, I don't mean yes
Why even try to second guess
If I say no, I don't mean yes

One syllable and it's so simple
One meaning one purpose without you
Now I can stay or I can leave
Get lost and take a reprieve
From all your attempts to deceive

Weigh your options carefully
Carry your burdens without me
If I say no, I don't mean yes
Why even try to second guess
If I say no, I don't mean yes
