[Verse 1]
I woke up swearing I was done,
“no men, no mess, no stress” for me
Had a whole new mindset loaded,
like I’m finally choosing me.
Then you show up acting casual,
hands in pockets, being pretty.
And suddenly my backbone glitches—
like “what a pity.”
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell myself I’m stronger now,
but you stand close and my logic taps out.
[Chorus]
It’s a hard no,
I’m really trying hard mode—
but you’ve got a hard… oh.
I swear I had intentions,
but you test all of them slow.
It’s a hard no,
at least that’s how it should go—
but then you show up, and well… you know.
[Verse 2]
You say my name like you’re bored,
but it hits me wrong—ugh, annoyingly right.
I pretend I didn’t hear it,
then think about it all night.
I’m trying to be well-adjusted,
high-value, healed, independent.
But the second you lean in slightly?
My dignity gets suspended.
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep telling myself “don’t fold,”
but folding feels kind of on-brand, actually.
[Chorus]
It’s a hard no,
I’m really trying hard mode—
but you’ve got a hard… oh.
I swear I had convictions,
but they’re not built for this, no.
It’s a hard no,
yeah, it sounds good in theory though—
but then you walk in, and there it goes.
[Bridge]
This is nothing deep, don’t flatter yourself,
you’re just stupidly attractive.
I’m stable, I’m sane—
just maybe not around you, specifically.
I keep saying “I don’t want this,”
but want is kind of loud when you’re near.
[Final Chorus]
It’s a hard no,
I’m really trying hard mode—
but you’ve got a hard… oh.
I’d love to be disciplined,
but you’re not helping me grow.
It’s a hard no—
until you walk in like that, though.
So honestly? I don’t know.
