[Verse 1]
It started with a quiet ring
you standing at my door—
something in your stare tonight
is a word I’ve never heard before
I keep my voice wrapped in blankets
keeping secrets in my hand
I want to ask, but I bite down,
won’t let the question land
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re not moving, not leaving,
waiting for something to begin
Our silence holds its breath again
something unexpected creeps in
[Chorus]
You said, "No, no, no,"
echoes in this room,
(no, no, no,)
I keep hearing it break through
No, no, no,
you said "No, no, no,"
Don’t say the word
don’t say the word
you said "No, no, no,"
[Verse 2]
Footsteps cracking on the floor—
your face turned from the light
I feel a shiver through my bones
not sure if I should fight
We both are holding something dark—
saying nothing is the start,
give me laughter, give me tears,
but the echo pulls us apart
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re not moving, not leaving,
waiting for something to begin
A chance slips out the window
I feel your silence close in
[Chorus]
You said, "No, no, no,"
echoes in this room,
(no, no, no,)
I keep hearing it break through
No, no, no,
you said "No, no, no,"
Don’t say the word
don’t say the word
you said "No, no, no,"
[Bridge]
All I needed was a sign,
not this chain of "no, no, no,"
I want to break the cycle
but the answer’s always "no."
[Chorus]
You said, "No, no, no,"
echoes in this room,
(no, no, no,)
I keep hearing it break through
No, no, no,
you said "No, no, no,"
Don’t say the word
don’t say the word
you said "No, no, no,"
[Outro]
When you go, I know,
you said "No, no, no."
