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"

It's strange for Will Solace to think that the songs he and his ex-boyfriend, Nico di Angelo, used to sing where all just memories now. What happened to the smiles, the flowers, them? They were gone, that's all Will knows now. Yesterday Will found out Nico was cheating on him. And now, just looking at Nico feels... wrong, somehow.

He told Will earlier today that he takes everything he had done back, just one more chance. And he said yes.

You should've said, "No"
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word 'bout what you did with him
Get back to me (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 beggin' for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said, "No"
Baby, and you might still have me

But Nico should have said no to the other man. He should've gone home to Will that night at the bar. Nico di Angelo should've thought twice about Will before he let everything they had go.

He should have known that Will would find out about what he did with the other man.

And Will should have been there, in the back of Nico's mind, Will shouldn't be asking himself "Why?" all the time now, after it was all said and done. Nico shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at Will's fee.

"You should've said no, baby, and maybe you'd still have me." Will said to Nico before he walked off back to his cabin.

You can see that I've been cryin'
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"

Nico walked into Will's cabin that night, and saw that he had been crying. he knew all the right things to say, but  does he honestly expect Will to believe that things between them might ever be the same?

"The past is in the past, it was one moment of weakness, and I stupidly said yes!"

You should've said, "No"
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word 'bout what you did with him
Get back to me (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 beggin' for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said, "No"
Baby, and you might still have me, oh-whoa

But Nico should have said no to the other man. He should've gone home to Will that night at the bar. Nico di Angelo should've thought twice about Will before he let everything they had go. He should have known that Will would find out about what he did with Trevor.

And Will should have been there, in the back of Nico's mind, Will shouldn't be asking himself "Why?" all the time now, after it was all said and done. Nico shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at Will's fee.

"You should've said no, baby, and maybe you'd still have me." Will said to Nico, but stopped before locking him out of his cabin.

I can't resist
Before you go, tell me this
Was it worth it?
Was he worth this?

"Before you go," Will said, and Nico stopped. "Tell me," he continued, and Nico asked, "What?"

"Was it worth it?"

"Was what worth it?"

"Was he," Will changed the wording. "worth it?"

No, no, no, no, no, no

"No, no no no, of course not Will, no of course not! We can stay, just how we were before."

You should've said, "No"
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word 'bout what you did with him
Get back to me (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 beggin' for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said, "No"
Baby, and you might still have me

"You should have said no! You should've gone home! You should've thought twice before you let all of this go! You should've known that what you did with him would get back to me!"

"Well you should have been there!"

"In the back of your mind, and I shouldn't be asking myself 'Why?' You shouldn't have been begging on your knees for forgiveness that night."

Nico started tearing up, but Will delivered the final blow. "You should've said no, baby, and you might still have me."
