Everyday the flame gets dimmer
Everyday the feeling's weaker
My heart rate slower and slower
I hold a white flag but I won't surrender
I make no excuses
These are my own choices
My memories, they don't belong to you
I'm not gonna give in
But I'm shedding too much skin
And nothing's enough for you
Why can't you take no for an answer
Why can't you take no
Why can't you take no for an answer
'Cuz I won't justify it, no no
All the words that strangle me
And make me feel like I can't breathe
Built a secret I couldn't keep
The worst part is what everyone must see
I make no excuses
These are my own choices
My memories, they don't belong to you
I'm not gonna give in
But I'm shedding too much skin
And nothing's enough for you
Why can't you take no for an answer
Why can't you take no
Why can't you take no for an answer
'Cuz I won't justify it, no no
I shouldn't have to bear my soul
For you to know that's not how I roll
So I'll take back the feeling and I'll like the flame
It's time to close this case
Why can't you take no for an answer
Why can't you take no
Why can't you take no for an answer
'Cuz I won't justify it, no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
