i'd like to say yes
i don't want to say no
i would be lying if i said yes
and pathetic if i said no
so i won't say anything
'cept, thanks for asking.
i'd like to smile
i don't want to frown
it'd be disingenuous if i smiled
and pointless if i frowned
so i won't do anything
'cept, thank you for asking
i'd like to be up
don't want to be down
but i don't want to fall
and can't seem to climb
so i won't hope for anything
'cept wish you weren't just asking
i'd like to say yes
i don't want to say no
i would be lying if i said yes
and pathetic if i said no
so i won't say anything
'cept, gosh i can be depressing.
