She said yes, but...

[Verse 1] She said yes, but her eyes told another tale, A quiet storm that whispered, “This won’t last, not really.” I caught the flicker in the candlelight so frail, Like a secret she was trying hard to keep concealed. [Chorus] She said yes, but the “but” was miles long, A thousand unsaid words hanging in the air. She said yes, but somewhere deep inside, she was gone, Leaving echoes of a love we couldn’t repair. [Verse 2] She smiled and held my hand a little too tight, As if she feared that letting go would mean the end. We danced around the truth all through the night, Pretending we could fix what never had a chance to mend. [Bridge] Maybe “yes” was just a way to soften the fall, A gentle lie to keep the quiet from turning into a scream. I should’ve listened to the silence after it all, Instead of chasing shadows in a half‑lit dream. [Chorus] She said yes, but the “but” was miles long, A thousand unsaid words hanging in the air. She said yes, but somewhere deep inside, she was gone, Leaving echoes of a love we couldn’t repair. She said yes, but the “but” was miles long, A thousand unsaid words hanging in the air. She said yes, but somewhere deep inside, she was gone, Leaving echoes of a love we couldn’t repair. [Outro] She said yes… But the “but” said everything.
