If I said yes
My hurt is unjustified
My panic is unqualifiedIf I said yes
I'm a fraudulent victim
I'm a abuser of the systemIf I said yes
Then nothing was taken
Then everything was mistakenBut I said yes to a misguided ruse
And you said yes to manipulated advances
But I said yes to something I didn't choose
And you said yes to naive glancesIf I said yes
There wouldn't have been a parameter
If I said yes
There wouldnt be attacks of anxiety hereIf I said yes...
...I remember saying no
