she closed the door on me
without even a second look
said she’d seen all there was to see
that she’d read the book
said she didn’t need to talk
she was done with all of this
but i could tell from her tear stained eyes
we would have another kiss

so no
go on and marry him
close the door your eyes your hopes our dreams
do the easy thing and marry him
forget all our promises and stolen midnight kisses
forget the apple pie and high speed wishes
and go and marry him
Say yes and whisper whisper no
and go on and marry him

she told me why she fell for him
why he’ll always be good enough
why she’ll take safe and secure
why it’s better than all our funny stuff
she gave me one last look with her broken smile
and with her quiet voice she said
we were only meant for a different while

so no
go on and marry him
close it off on all the scary things
do the easy thing and marry him
deny your heart our soul and your secret smile
forget what we shared when we both were scared
and go and marry him
make the safest easy choice
and go and marry him

maybe this is all my fault
I could have done a whole lot more
could have kissed her one more time
instead of promising one day more
maybe i could have held her close
when we both pushed away
but I always reached her heart
when i finally found our words to say

so no
don’t you dare choose to marry him
don’t be too scared to believe your voice
don’t forget this love and marry him
you don’t love you don’t kiss you don’t believe in him
you know we ache for our midnight love and sin
our silent dreams of us marrying
you know we’d fight we knew we were right
if only you didn’t marry him
I should have said

don’t marry him.
