Lyrics to Should've Said No :
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
the smiles, the flowers, everything...
is gone

yesterday i found out about you
even now just looking at you...
feels wrong

you say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
it was a moment of weakness
and you said yes...

CHORUS
you should've said no, you should've gone home
you should've thought twice before you let it all go
you shouldn've known that word,
but what you did with her get back to me...
and i should've been there, in the back of your mind
i shouldn't be asking myself why
you shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
you should've said no,
baby and you might still have me

you can see that i've been crying
and baby you know all the right things...to say
but do you honestly expect me to believe
we could ever be the same?

you say that the past is the past,
you need one chance
it was a moment of weakness
and you said yes...

(CHORUS)

i can't resist...
before you go, tell me this
was it worth it?
was she worth this?

no...no no no...

(CHORUS)

This song is about trust and honesty. This girl's boyfriend had lied to her and cheated on her. The girl has lost all trust in him and she left him. She is saying that he "should've said no" ("Lyrics Mania.") to the other girl. He was honest by telling her the truth but he was not honest to himself when he was with the other girl. He was not honest to himself because he probably knew he was doing the wrong thing, but he didn't walk away from it.



Can You Be Truly Honest?

Honesty, we say, is the best policy. And yet, it’s hardly news to anyone that in much of our lives, dishonesty rules. Salespeople lie about the benefits of one product over another, or about how useful those “extended service plans” really are. Partners lie about whether they liked dinner, or about what they did last night after work. Employees lie about the reason a project is overdue, or about how much money is in the register. Customer service people lie about what your warranty covers, or about how reliable their products are. And of course politicians lie about… the color of the sky and the existence of stones.
We look down on dishonesty, but we do it all the time. We all know that “little white lies” are a kind of social lubricant, making everything run that much more smoothly. Why have a fight with your spouse over an outfit when it’s so much easier to just say “you look great, honey”? Why make a friend feel buyer’s remorse over their new car purchase by telling them all the terrible things you’ve read about it’s reliability?
It’s hard to be completely honest. And yet, I wonder if we don’t let ourselves get so deep into the habit of saying things that are convenient rather than true that we lose sight of the truth in every area of our lives? And whether in losing the ability to be truthful for the sake of being truthful, we don’t lose a little bit of ourselves?

This article is all about honesty, what it is and how we use and disuse it. Being honest should be a habit because if it's the opposite, then that's not good. Being dis-honest is a very easy thing to do in everyday situations. It then becomes a habit, and it will take time to work on getting your honesty back. "It’s hard to be completely honest." (Wax, Dustin .) is a very true statement, because sometimes we are dis-honest for different reasons. It is hard to be honest all of the time, but we should try to be honest most of the time.
