Illuminate

The call to say no, that’s the subject under discussion
And there are plenty of times in life when you have to say no.
Fortunately, sometimes, it’s easy!
Saying it most of the times is as simple as this
Thanks for asking me, but no

If I refused, would you take me for a coward?
Call me crying in the shower, but I wasn’t scared
At least none of you know how it feels, so fractious and empowered
I was but a delicate flower in need of care

You say you had it under control
You know I can’t fill the hole it left you (no)
Baby, if I could give it at all
I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute
I would illuminate you with my love (no)

Turn to face the sunken
Look what you’ve done to me
All because you can’t fill the space
In your heart’s place so easily

You say you had it under control
You know I can’t fill the hole it left you (no)
Baby, if I could give it at all
I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute
I would illuminate you with my love
I would illuminate you with my love (no)

Turn to face the sunken
Look what you’ve done to me
All because you can’t fill the space
In your heart’s place so easily

It’s worth the effort to learn how to say no
And to still keep your friends!
