Hard to Say No Lyrics

It's hard to say no
It's hard to say no
It's hard to say no
It's hard to say no

I'm ashamed to say that I couldn't help myself
This temptation is something else
When you're far away the isolation gets the best of me
It's a recipe I know all to well

And I try to vocalise
Exactly what I'm doing wrong
When your face is filled with tears
Cause you tried to compromise
But you really can't go on
You've had it up to here

Now I would always want you
As a lover as a friend
But some days a man needs space in his relationship
It ain't hard to comprehend

It's hard to say no
It's hard to say no

I've been around the world and back
I know what you associate with that
I know you have trouble trusting me
But I held my own (but I held my own)
It doesn't take away from the fact
Something changed the minute I came back
I haven't felt the same from not seeing you so long

Now I try to rationalize
Exactly what I'm doing wrong
When you're face to face with fears
I know you tried to compromise
But you really can't go on
You've had it up to here

Now I would always want you
As a lover as a friend
But some days a man needs space in his relationship
It ain't hard to comprehend

It's hard to say no
It's hard to say no
It's hard to say no
It's hard to say no

Now I would always want you
As a lover as a friend
But some days a man needs space in his relationship
It ain't hard to comprehend
