Intro: (Whispered, echoing, over soft synths + subtle heartbeat bass)
“no… no… no…”
(Verse 1)
I wore a smile, I played it cool
Thought I was safe, I followed the rules
We laughed, we talked, I let my guard down
But inside, the silence started to drown
(Pre-Chorus)
I said “no” — not loud, but clear
You looked right past my rising fear
Frozen still, I couldn’t fight
You stole what never was yours that night
(Chorus)
Did you hear me say no? (Say no…)
Did you feel me go cold? (Go cold…)
Did you see me shaking inside? (Inside…)
When your hands took what they shouldn’t hold?
Now I’m trapped in memories I can’t outrun
Bleeding in the dark, you call it love
Did you hear me say no? (Say no…)
(Verse 2)
Bathroom floor, my knees they shake
Pain and tears I can’t erase
Pulled my soul through broken glass
Trying to scrub away the past
(Pre-Chorus)
I said “stop”, I tried to breathe
You closed the door, swallowed the key
Now I wake with echoes in my head
Pieces of myself I can’t mend
(Chorus)
Did you hear me say no? (Say no…)
Did you feel me let go? (Let go…)
Did you notice the silence inside? (Inside…)
Where laughter used to grow? (Used to grow…)
Haunted by the sound of your voice
Pretending I ever had a choice
Did you hear me say no? (Say no…)
(Verse 3)
I flinch at sounds I used to trust
My body remembers even when I don’t
I tell myself that I survived
But some nights I’m still frozen inside (still inside)
(Bridge)
And they ask why I never told…
But how do you speak when you’re numb and cold?
This was not a song, not a kiss, not right —
It was me, afraid, in the dead of night
(Chorus)
Did you hear me say no? (Say no…)
Even now, do you know? (Do you know…)
This pain doesn’t fade with time
It sleeps behind my eyes (behind my eyes…)
You took more than you’ll ever see
But you don’t get to define me
Did you hear me say no? (Say no…)
Outro: (Whisper, fading)
Say no… say no…
No…(I said no)
Beexii
