(Verse 1)

You show up with your clever words,

Trying to twist the truth I’ve heard.

You think I’ll fall for the guilt you throw,

But I’ve built a wall, and I won’t let go.

(Pre-Chorus)

You don’t like my answer, I can tell,

But I’ve got my reasons, and I wear them well.

I won’t be swayed, I won’t back down,

This is my choice, and I’m standing my ground.

(Chorus)

I hear what you’re saying, but my answer’s still no,

You can’t make me feel bad for the path I chose.

I’m not shifting my boundary, not changing my mind,

We can want different things and still leave this behind.

(Verse 2)

You act like love’s a battlefield,

Where I’m supposed to break and yield.

But my heart’s not yours to rearrange,

I’ll take the pain if it means I stay unchanged.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’ve said my piece, I’ve drawn the line,

No second-guessing, this power’s mine.

You can try, but you won’t break through,

This is the strongest thing I’ve learned to do.

(Chorus)

I hear what you’re saying, but my answer’s still no,

You can’t make me feel bad for the path I chose.

I’m not shifting my boundary, not changing my mind,

We can want different things and still leave this behind.

(Bridge)

You want control, but I’ve got the key,

No guilt or shame will get to me.

I’ll carry this weight, no matter the cost,

‘Cause keeping my truth is worth what I’ve lost.

(Final Chorus)

I hear what you’re saying, but my answer’s still no,

I’ve learned to let go of what doesn’t help me grow.

I’m not shifting my boundary, not changing my mind,

You can’t break my heart—this strength is mine.

(Outro)

We can want different things, and I’ll be fine,

You go your way, and I’ll hold to mine.

I’m still saying no, and I won’t let it show,

That it hurts, but I’ll heal—I’m still saying no.
