Should've Said No
Jonas Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The smiles, the flowers, everything is gone
Well, yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you feels wrong
And you say that you'd take it all back given one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said, yes
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You shouldn've known that word
'Bout what you did with her'd get back to me
Yeah, and I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby, and you might still have me
You can see that I've been crying
And baby, you know all the right things to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same?
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said, yes
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You shouldn've known that word
'Bout what you did with her'd get back to me
Yeah, and I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby, and you might still have me, oh
I can't resist, before you go tell me this
Was it worth it? Was she worth this?
No, no, no, no, no
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You shouldn've known that word
'Bout what you did with her'd get back to me
Yeah, and I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby, and you might still have me
The Jonas Brothers' song "Should've Said No" is a breakup song that delves into the feelings of betrayal and regret following the discovery of infidelity. The lyrics describe the pain and confusion of realizing that a partner has cheated and the difficulty of moving on from that hurt. The opening lines allude to the memories and moments that have been tainted by the truth of the cheating, with "the songs we used to sing" and "the flowers" now devoid of their former joy.
The chorus of the song is a strong, yet poignant statement of what the cheated partner wishes had happened: that their partner had said no to the temptation to cheat, had gone home, and had thought twice about the consequences before letting it all go. The partner's remorse and the realization that they had made a grave mistake is captured in the line, "You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet." The song ends with a final plea to the partner, asking if the affair was worth losing the relationship.
Overall, "Should've Said No" is a relatable and emotional song about the pain of betrayal and the difficulty of moving on from that hurt. It underscores the importance of trust and the destructive power of infidelity in a committed relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
Reflecting on the past, it feels surreal to think of how things used to be
The smiles, the flowers, everything is gone
All of the joy and beauty that once existed in this relationship is no longer present
Well, yesterday I found out about you
Recently, I discovered something about you that has changed everything
Even now just looking at you feels wrong
In light of what I know, even being around you makes me feel uncomfortable
And you say that you'd take it all back given one chance
You claim that if you could go back in time, you would make a different choice
It was a moment of weakness and you said, yes
You made a mistake and, in a moment of vulnerability, you said 'yes' to something you shouldn't have
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should have declined the offer and left the situation before things went too far
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should have paused to consider the consequences of your actions before giving in to temptation
You shouldn've known that word
You should have been aware that news of what you did would eventually get back to me
'Bout what you did with her'd get back to me
You should have been aware that news of what you did with her would eventually get back to me
Yeah, and I should've been there in the back of your mind
I should have been a prominent factor in your decision-making process, even if I wasn't physically present
I shouldn't be asking myself why
I shouldn't have to be questioning why you did what you did
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should not have to beg for forgiveness for your mistakes, especially in a subservient manner
You should've said no, baby, and you might still have me
If you had made a different choice, we might still be together
You can see that I've been crying
It is apparent that I have been distressed and upset over what has happened
And baby, you know all the right things to say
You are skilled at saying the things that you think I want to hear in order to appease me
But do you honestly expect me to believe
However, it is difficult for me to trust that you truly mean what you say
We could ever be the same?
It is hard to imagine that we could ever return to the way things were before
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
You argue that what has happened cannot be undone, but you deserve another opportunity
I can't resist, before you go tell me this
Before you leave, I cannot help but ask you one more question
Was it worth it? Was she worth this?
Was your decision to betray me worth the damage it has caused to our relationship and to me personally?
