Kiley Dean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess it all comes down to whether or not you're telling me the truth (hmm x 4),
But I can't help to have my doubts about you cause this thing ain't new (hmm x 4),
I've been through storms and back, made sacrifices just to be with you (hmm x 4),
Now you wanna come back one more time but I'm not even hearing you (hmm x 4),
Bridge:
Cause you gave me nothing but a broken heart,
I think it's best that we just stay apart,
Every time you're broke this means you'll treat me right,
We end up right back where we started out,
Chorus:
I'm saying no,
I don't wanna be yours anymore and, (No)
I don't wanna do things like before and, (No)
I don't wanna believe what you're saying, (No)
I already know this game we're playing, (No)
Don't be calling me five in the morning, (No)
Don't be sending me gifts anymore and, (No)
Get up out of the game; you ain't scoring, (No)
I don't want to be with you
You tell me things have changed and now you know how much you threw away (hmm x 4),
You shoulda realized I'm not about to sit around and wait (hmm x 4),
Getting over you was hard, but now it's done and i'ma be okay (hmm x 4),
You better get used to the way it is cause it ain't gon change (hmm x 4),
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
I don't wanna know why, (no I don't wanna know why)
No I ain't satisfied, (oh oh)
Keep you apology, (keep you apology)
Cause you don't need me, (No)
No, I don't need you in my life,
Seriously this time,
This is your ticket to ride,
Better believe it,
(Chorus)
The song "No" by Kiley Dean talks about a person who has had enough of the lies and mistreatment they received from their partner. The lyrics suggest that the singer had been through a lot in their relationship, making sacrifices and enduring storms, but their partner never reciprocated their efforts. The song implies that the singer had given their partner multiple chances to make things right, but they failed every time. Now, the singer has decided to move on and end the relationship for good, and nothing can make them change their mind anymore, not even the partner's apologies or gifts.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the word "No," emphasizes the singer's decision to end the toxic relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer has finally realized their worth and is no longer willing to put up with their partner's games. The song signifies a journey of self-love and puts forth the message that it is important to respect oneself and have the courage to end relationships that do not serve us.
Overall, the song "No" is a powerful anthem that encourages listeners to stand up for themselves and make tough decisions for their own well-being.
