Prompt / Lyrics
(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?
