Say No More

about

A reflective and smooth rock song about sometimes saying hurtful things to the people you love most.

lyrics

Maybe I should say no more
Cause there’s plenty of foot in my mouth—
Or is it too late now?
Should I have known better?
It was a simple slip of the tongue,
Should I have put it in a letter?
No, it’s too late now
So, maybe I should say no more…
Nah.

Maybe I should say no more
Cause it feels like I’m blowing it up.
Yeah, I write patient words
But in the heat of the moment
I’m a venomous tongue—
I’m a bullet hitting a bullet
And the smoking gun
Is proof that I should say no more …

That I should keep all my cards close.
Take the ‘less is more’ approach.
Pretend that my mouth is broke.
Swallow my words and choke.

Maybe I should say no more.
I should hold on tight to my tongue
Because the damage is done
And I don’t know if we’re okay.
So, tell me, did I say too much
And could I have another chance someday

If I keep all my cards close?
Take the ‘less is more’ approach?
If I swallow my words and choke
And on the tips of my toes
Go dancing around the thoughts in my head?
Yeah, there’s a definite line
And I’ve crossed it this time,
Always saying what don’t need to be said.

Or is it too late now?
Should I have known better?
It was a simple slip of the tongue,
Should I have put it in a letter?
No, it’s too late now
So, maybe I should say no more …
