I Say No
Carrie Hope Fletcher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are a poison pill
I've got to kick this habit now
Or else I never will
I loved the rush
When you would hold me close
But you will not be satisfied
Until my overdose
This is it
Hit the brake
I am finally awake
Let me be
Let me go
You need help
I can't provide
I am not qualified
This troubled teen is getting clean
I say no
Veronica, who else is gonna be-
No, no, no, no!
Don't say a word
You speak and I cave in
You'll twist the truth again
And drill deep down beneath my skin
You said you'd change
And I believed in you
But you're still using me to justify the harm you do
This is it
Hit the brake
Call it all my mistake
Long as you let me go
You need help
I can't provide
I'm not Bonnie
You're not Clyde
It's not too late
I'm getting straight
I say no
Blame your childhood, blame your dad
Blame the life you never had
But hurting people? That's your choice, my friend
'Cause I believe that the love will win
And hate will earn you nothing in the end
This is the end
But I love you!
Dude
This is it
I won't cry
Starting now, I will try
To pay back
All the karma I owe
Start again
Somewhere new
Far from cool guys like you
So goodbye
'Cause now I
I say no
Just in time
I say no
Somehow I'm saying no
Just say no
I say no
No!
The song "I Say No" by Carrie Hope Fletcher is about someone realizing they are in a toxic relationship and deciding to stand up for themselves and move on. The lyrics describe the other person in the relationship as a drug and a poison pill, someone they need to kick to avoid an overdose. The singer acknowledges the rush they felt while they were together, but they also realize that nothing they do will ever satisfy the other person. The chorus repeats the words "I say no" as a mantra, showing the singer's decision to put themselves first and walk away from the relationship.
The second verse describes the other person in the relationship trying to manipulate and control the singer. They speak and the singer caves in, twisting the truth deep within their skin. The other person promises to change, but the singer knows that they are using them to justify the harm they cause. The bridge of the song urges the other person to take accountability for their actions rather than blaming their childhood or circumstances. The singer believes that love will win in the end and chooses to move on for a better future.
Line by Line Meaning
You are a drug
You are someone I have become addicted to and need to break free from
You are a poison pill
You are something that is harmful and potentially deadly
I've got to kick this habit now
I need to put an end to my addiction as soon as possible
Or else I never will
If I don't put an end to it now, there's a chance I'll never be able to do so in the future
I loved the rush
I enjoyed the feeling of excitement and adrenaline rush I got from being with you
When you would hold me close
I enjoyed the physical and emotional closeness we shared
But you will not be satisfied
You have an insatiable desire for something that cannot be fulfilled
Until my overdose
You will continue to push me to my breaking point until I've had enough
This is it
This is the final straw
Hit the brake
Stop everything right now
I am finally awake
I have finally opened my eyes to the reality of the situation
Let me be
Leave me alone
Let me go
Allow me to leave this situation and move on with my life
You need help
You require assistance and support
I can't provide
I am not the right person to give you the help you need
I am not qualified
I don't possess the necessary skills or knowledge to help you
This troubled teen is getting clean
I am making a conscious effort to cleanse myself of your harmful influence
I say no
I refuse to continue down this path of destruction
Don't say a word
Do not speak
You speak and I cave in
Your words have a powerful effect on me and I am unable to resist them
You'll twist the truth again
You will manipulate the facts to suit your own purposes
And drill deep down beneath my skin
You will penetrate to the core of my being and cause me great discomfort
You said you'd change
You made promises to me that you didn't keep
And I believed in you
I trusted you and had faith in you
But you're still using me to justify the harm you do
You continue to exploit me and use me as a tool for your destructive behavior
Call it all my mistake
I take responsibility for my poor choices in this situation
Long as you let me go
As long as you allow me to leave this situation
I'm not Bonnie
I am not your partner in crime
You're not Clyde
You are not my partner in crime
It's not too late
There is still time to make a change
I'm getting straight
I am working on getting my life back on track
Blame your childhood, blame your dad
You can point the finger at your upbringing or your father for your problems
Blame the life you never had
You can blame the circumstances of your life that you feel robbed you of the life you deserved
But hurting people? That's your choice, my friend
However, you are still responsible for your actions and the harm you cause to others
'Cause I believe that the love will win
I truly believe that love and compassion will triumph over hate and harm
And hate will earn you nothing in the end
Ultimately, hate will not bring you any favor or reward
I won't cry
I refuse to shed tears over this situation
Starting now, I will try
From this point forward, I will make a conscious effort to change
To pay back
To make amends for the harm I may have caused
All the karma I owe
To rectify the negative energy I have put out into the world
Start again
Begin anew
Somewhere new
In a new place or a new mindset
Far from cool guys like you
Far away from people like you, who bring nothing but struggle and trouble into my life
So goodbye
Farewell
'Cause now I
Because I have made the decision
No!
Absolutely not

“It’s not too late.”
Three people are dead, Veronica.
