Did you hear me say 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 the silence inside me was starting 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?

Did you see me go cold?

Did you feel the way I shook

When your hands took what they shouldn't hold?

Now I'm locked in a memory I can’t outrun

Bleeding in the dark, and you’re calling it love

Did you hear me say no?

(Verse 2)

Bathroom floor, shaking knees

Pain and tears that wouldn’t ease

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 and swallowed the key

Now I wake with echoes in my head

And pieces of myself I can’t mend

(Chorus)

Did you hear me say no?

Did you feel me let go?

Did you notice the silence

Where laughter used to grow?

Now I’m haunted by the sound of your voice

Pretending I ever had a choice

Did you hear me say no?

(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

(Final Chorus – softer)

Did you hear me say no?

Even now, do you know?

This pain doesn't fade with time

It sleeps 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?
