No, No

No, no

I recognize you

I met you last year

I remember that night.

 

No, don't come closer

I remember you

You speak in cliches,

And i fell for it, i mean you

 

No, stop talking,

I believed you

But that was last year

And I am older. I am stronger

 

No, no.

You say you're not him,

But I know you too well.

Yes, I've met you before.

 

No, you can't fool me.

You can't drown me.

I don't fear you.

Don't come closer.

 

No, stop coming closer

No, this is my choice

No, this is my life

No, you've hurt me enough

 

No, I'm not falling for it again

No, I remember you

No, you've hurt me enough

Now leave.

 

I know you can't hear me, though

Probably because I can't say it out loud

But I remember your heavy touch,

And I still hear your cold laugh

 

You're him, I know you are

Even if you're not,

I wouldn't dare leave my ground

And get slammed again into cold, rough pavement

Not again

 

No, you're him.

I know you are

Every man I'll ever meet 

Will be him

 

Any rose you'll ever give me,

I'll see the thorns

Any smile we ever share, 

Will be scorned

 

Because he hurt me, and now 

He's you and you're him

I'm sorry

I'm sorry
