First song I ever wrote on guitar. True story.

lyrics

SHE SAID NO
VALERIE MIZE

Standing out in the parking lot the last night we ever met
asking why is he back again, why haven't you kicked him out yet?
I said, "Hey, I've got the solution; Why don't you come with me?"
She said, "That would only cause confusion, 'cause here's where I've gotta beeee"

I'd never pleaded with another person for anything before
I wanted to pull her in from the tide and bring her back to shore
I saw in her eyes she wanted to go. (Or maybe that was in mine)
I knew in my heart that when she said no, I was running out of time


I said, "Just get in the car
It's time to decide who you are
I can take you away from this mess,
All you've got to do is just say yes,
So, come on now, it's time for us to go..."
But she said no.


I ran out of words and just repeated myself,
knowing that she'd made her choice
I tried to keep the sound of desperation
from creeping into my voice
I gave her a hug,
I opened the door
knowing it was time for goodbye
It took everything that I had in me
not to look her in the eye


I thought, "Just get in the car
It's time to find out who you are
you can drive away from this girl
even though she changed your world
as I left I thought she will never know .."
'Cause she said no.


Just get in that car
the highway doesn't care who you are
You can drive away from this girl
even though she changed your world
and as I left I thought maybe someday she'll know, even though
she said no


Just get in the car
the highway doesn't care who you are
You can drive away from this girl
even though she changed your world
and as I left I thought she will never know
'Cause she said no
