The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't want to talk about the old days any more

I've set aside all the unsettled scores

But nonetheless the past still casts a shadow on me

I could walk away without a second glance

The way things panned out down to random chance

But nonetheless the logic's far beyond me

Oh no! L guess I must have said yes

Oh no, I must have said yes

So now I find I'm in a parlous place

Repenting at leisure for what I did in haste

All my past promises are catching up on me

Oh no, l guess I must have said yes

Although I'm inclined to digress

L know I must have said yes

And if blame's attached to anybody

It'll be me

I'm the one who said that I agree

I apologise to everybody

What else can I do?

Now I'll do my best to see it through

I've got no other option

No excuses, no stewing in my juices

Denial is useless, holy cow

With precision my everyday decisions

Have led me to be in the here and now

I'll be right here and now for what it's worth

Hoist on my own petard as I am

But let's not talk about the old days

Except to say the consequences run

To be plain, what's over isn't done

And you thought you were only having fun

Oh no, I guess I must have said yes

Although I was under duress

I know I must have said yes

Though I don't know quite what happened to me

How the story went

Somewhere on the way I gave consent
