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?
