No (Acoustic Piano - Original Version)

I've seen some things, I've seen your actions
Why are you going along with people you'd rather not?
You know that I understand what you're trying to do
Oh, you don't want a stir
Oh, you don't want a fight
You lie and say yes to not cause a rock
But if you aren't being honest, what will happen to you?
I know you're worried of that 'cause they might leave
But are they really true friends
To leave 'cause you disagree?

Now I understand
There are some things you must say yes to
Not all things are up for grabs to disagree about
But if someone asks
About your plans
Or if you'll help
Or what you want
If you're too busy or don't want what they want
Then don't lie and say yes
Because contrary to what you think
It'll only cause a mess

So then that's why you say
No no no
Time to realize that only you can run this
Show show show
So why do you keep on trying
To please everyone?
Oh, everyone but yourself
Just take a moment and see
That you really need to just learn and say
No no no
If you don't want it you can just stand up and
Go go go
Oh your opinion matters
Be honest with people and remember what you want
'Cause everyone matters
And that includes yourself

I know you're shy, you're afraid of losing them
But in a relationship you have to be honest
Differences make us strong
Differences make us bond
If we were all the same
The world would be a boring place

Now I understand
There are some things you must say yes to
Not all things are up for grabs to disagree about
But if someone asks
About your plans
Or if you'll help
Or what you want
If you're too busy or don't want what they want
Then don't lie and say yes
Because contrary to what you think
It'll only cause a mess

So then that's why you say
No no no
Time to realize that only you can run this
Show show show
So why do you keep on trying
To please everyone?
Oh, everyone but yourself
Just take a moment and see
That you really need to just learn and say
No no no
If you don't want it you can just stand up and
Go go go
Oh your opinion matters
Be honest with people and remember what you want
'Cause everyone matters
And that includes yourself

I've learned from my past and I've learned from mistakes
I've learned from the fears that I've driven away
I'm still struggling but I think I'll improve
I'm writing these words and they're helping me through
It's easy to say and much harder to do
With practice I'm sure that I'll become a new
Person who's honest in everything
I'll say what I think and I'll try not to lie

So then that's why you say
No no no
Time to realize that only you can run this
Show show show
So why do you keep on trying
To please everyone?
Oh, everyone but yourself
Just take a moment and see
That you really need to just learn and say
No no no
If you don't want it you can just stand up and
Go go go
Oh your opinion matters
Be honest with people and remember what you want
'Cause everyone matters
And that includes yourself
