How to Take No for an Answer

Silent echoes in my mind

Words unspoken, hearts unaligned

What’s left to say, what’s left to do

When I’ve been hurt so badly by you

Every promise broke like glass

Shattered hopes, shadows cast

You say no, but I can't pretend

This pain’s a knot I can't unbend

You push, I pull, we’re torn apart

Dancing around a broken heart

Deciphering your cold refrain

Learning how to bear the pain

How do I take no for an answer

When the hurt is deep and fierce

My soul’s fighting in every chamber

Trying to silence the tears

Memories fade, but scars remain

Lessons learned through pain and strain

You say no, I understand

But I can't forget what you’ve done

You push, I pull, we’re torn apart

Dancing around a broken heart

Deciphering your cold refrain

Learning how to bear the pain

How do I take no for an answer

When the hurt is deep and fierce

My soul’s fighting in every chamber

Trying to silence the tears

I need to find a way to let go

Release the ache, find the flow

Even when you tell me no

I must confront the echo

Silent echoes, fading slow

Learning how to let go

No more tears, no more sorrow

Stepping into a new tomorrow
