Don't Say No
The Strive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never thought I'd see myself in you but I don't know
But I know it's right and
We we we we
Call me when you want me and I'll be there
Don't feel scared, baby I know
And no one's there in full care, care, care
But it's like we we we we
And not you you you you
If that's real love, you know this was the deal love
Time to take a chance and we can see how you feel
And when you know this is love, real love, real love, real love, love
Say you want it, but well you got it
Keep things dangerous, things dangerous
You're a sinner for a feeling
You were worth something really feeling now
Try try try try try, you won't change at all
Say you're different now, say you won't have to say no to better things
Cause it was always we we we we
And not you you you you
And that's real girl, yeah that's true
And I can tell it's hard to take shame and girl we can't be afraid
Of what they do, what they do
Tell you what I never doubted learning all the ways to hold myself
Waiting for the night to change the day
Just say my name, say you wanna stay
Everything was better, ohh no, everything was realer than before
You ruled the path in every way, yeah yeah yeah
We, we, we, we, we, yo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ouu
Say you won't have to say no to better things
It was always we we we we
And not you you you you
And that's real girl, yeah that's true
And I can tell it's hard to take shame and girl we can't be afraid
Of what they do, of what they do, no
