[Verse 1]
You said "this time'll be different"
Same script
Just a fresh excuse
You wear your guilt like leather
All shine
But it still cuts through
I got the scars to prove it
Your promises come in chains
You’re knocking on my front door
I’m bolting every frame
[Chorus]
I decline you again
Let it ring
Let it ring
I won’t bend
You can beg
You can bleed at my feet
My friend
But I
I decline you again
Every lie that you wrapped as a second chance
Burns out in the dark where our past still stands
I decline you again
[Verse 2]
You’re sending late-night “I miss you”
Typed out like a loaded gun
You love the chase
Not the aftermath
You want the war
Not what you’ve done
I’m done confusing your chaos
With anything close to love
You’re just a ghost with a lipstick smile
I’m finally giving you up
[Chorus]
I decline you again
Let it ring
Let it ring
I won’t bend
You can beg
You can bleed at my feet
My friend
But I
I decline you again
Every lie that you wrapped as a second chance
Burns out in the dark where our past still stands
I decline you again
[Bridge]
[Half-time
Guitar lead screaming under vocal]
Red flag ringtone
Flashing in my hand (yeah)
Used to be my weakness
Now it’s how I stand
I cut the cord
You’re shouting at a dead line (dead line)
I’m busy living
You’re stuck in rewind (hey!)
[Chorus]
I decline you again
Let it ring
Let it ring
I won’t bend
You can beg
You can bleed at my feet
My friend
But I
I decline you again
Every lie that you wrapped as a second chance
Falls flat in the glow of a new romance
I decline you again
(Yeah, I decline you again)
