Sodium Raven - Too Nice to Say No Lyrics

She wakes up staring at the ceiling Another day of double dealing
Caught between the yes and no Her heart's a river with no flow
She gives her time, her soul, her light To everyone who dims her sight
Smiles through the pain, hides the scars Chained to kindness, locked behind bars

She whispers in the dark Is it wrong to leave my mark
Can I stand without the weight Of pleasing every twist of fate
She's too nice to say no But it tears her apart, doesn't let her grow
She's a people pleaser with no room to breathe Lost in a world of what they need

But tonight, she'll choose her own way to go
She'll learn it's okay to say no
They take and take, but never see The battles she fights internally
Her voice gets softer, her will runs thin Afraid to lose, so she lets them win

But deep inside, a fire's burning A quiet storm, the tide is turning
The mirror shows her tired eyes She says enough of living lies
She whispers in the night Am I wrong to claim my right
Can I be the one who leads And plant my own unyielding seeds

She's too nice to say no But it tears her apart, doesn't let her grow
She's a people pleaser with no room to breathe Lost in a world of what they need
But tonight, she'll choose her own way to go
She'll learn it's okay to say no

So she writes a list of dreams she's shelved And vows to take back her sense of self
Each note she speaks becomes a door To something greater, something more
The world won't end if she stands tall She's found her strength to face it all
Kindness isn't being small It's knowing when to build a wall

She's no longer afraid to say no
It's healing her heart, it's helping her grow
Still a people lover, but now she can see The power in setting herself free
And tonight, she walks her own way to go

Finally learning to say no
She whispers to the stars above My worth is rooted in self-love
No longer chained to the ebb and flow She smiles now strong enough to say no
