You should have just said no
You should have just said go
Oh, you should have said nothing at all

You said you'd be in Carolina
But I knew I'd only find you writing letters
And telling your closest friends is just too much
But we both know this is going nowhere fast
I've had more than enough half-hearted promises

I know you never meant to say
That everything will be okay
When I lie in your arms at night
And you lie with your lips every time that we kiss
You should have just said no
You should have just said go
Oh, you should have said nothing at all

I drive the hours
Let's not pretend
We won't ever have back then or feel like this again
We both know this is going nowhere fast
I've had more than enough of these pointless arguments

I know you never meant to say
That everything will be okay
When I lie in your arms at night
And you lie with your lips every time that we kiss
You should have just said no
You should have just said go
Oh, you should have said nothing at all

You said you'd be in Carolina
But I knew I'd only find you writing letters
And telling your closest friends is just too much
But we both know this is going nowhere fast
I've had more than enough half-hearted promises

I know you never meant to say
That everything will be okay
When I lie in your arms at night

I know you never meant to say
That everything will be okay
When I lie in your arms at night
And you lie with your lips every time that we kiss
You should have just said no
You should have just said go
Oh, you should have said nothing at all
