Sasha Pieterse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And tellin' me that you love me so sincerely
Should've seen it coming, should've known you were no good for me
I had to find out from your friends what you did that night
I hope my back didn't break your knife
Did you do it by candle light? Did you have the best time of your life?
Now you're comin' around again
You say you'll be a better man
You've got a dozen dying roses from a drug store
You've got your tail between your legs and you're back for more
You tell me that you're sorry and you miss me so
But the answer will always be no
You're down on your knees
And you're cryin'
But I've learned my lesson from your lying
See, I don't really hate to say I told you so
And the answer will always be no
The answer will always be no
Funny you should ask about your faithless ways
See, I was devastated for a couple days
Then I finally realized how you made me suffocate
So get up, get out, don't let the door hit your ass
Those puppy dog eyes only make me laugh
Can't believe this conversation
Can't believe you thought you had a chance
I'm such a stronger person now
I must admit I'm enjoying how
This makes you feel
You've got a dozen dying roses from a drug store
You've got your tail between your legs and you're back for more
You tell me that you're sorry and you miss me so
But the answer will always be no
You're down on your knees and you're cryin'
But I've learned my lesson from your lying
See, I don't really hate to say I told you so
And the answer will always be no
The answer will always be no
I think her boyfriend knows
You better watch your back, ha
Watch your back
You've got a dozen dying roses from a drug store
You've got your tail between your legs and you're back for more
You tell me that you're sorry and you msis me so
But the answer will always be no
You're down on your knees and you're cryin'
But I've learned my lesson from your lying
See I don't really hate to say I told you so
I don't really hate to say I told you so
No, I don't really hate to say I told you so
And the answer will always be... haha no
The song "No" by Sasha Pieterse is about a woman who has had it with her deceitful ex-boyfriend. The first verse opens with her reminiscing about his charming smile and green eyes, which had initially won her over. However, she now reflects on how she should have known that he was no good for her. She discovered the truth about his infidelity from his friends, and she suspects he may have even used a knife in the process. The chorus repeats, emphasizing her steadfastness in rejecting him, despite his attempts at apology and reconciliation. In the second verse, she mocks his "puppy dog eyes" and dismisses him as having no chance with her. She revels in her own strength and growth, having learned from his lies and taken charge of the situation. The song concludes with a warning to him that he had better watch his back.
Pieterse's vocal delivery throughout the song is confident and sassy, conveying her assertive attitude towards her ex. The lyrics are straightforward and unapologetic, with a touch of humor sprinkled throughout. The upbeat tempo and guitar riffs give the song a catchy pop-rock feel.

Somethin' about your smile and your eyes of green
Your physical appearance was attractive to me
And tellin' me that you love me so sincerely
You were convincing when you said you loved me
Should've seen it coming, should've known you were no good for me
I should have realized that you were not a good fit for me
I had to find out from your friends what you did that night
I only found out about your bad actions from others
I hope my back didn't break your knife
I hope you did not harm me too much
Did you do it by candle light? Did you have the best time of your life?
Did you enjoy hurting me so much that it was like a romantic evening?
Now you're comin' around again
You are trying to come back into my life
You say you'll be a better man
You promise to be a better person if I give you another chance
Oh that's so cute
Your attempt at being charming is not effective
You've got a dozen dying roses from a drug store
You got cheap and dying flowers from a drug store to try and win me back
You tell me that you're sorry and you miss me so
You apologize and claim to miss me
But the answer will always be no
I will not take you back
You're down on your knees
You are begging for my forgiveness
And you're cryin'
You are crying in an attempt to make me feel sorry for you
But I've learned my lesson from your lying
I have learned to not trust you because of your past lies
See, I don't really hate to say I told you so
I knew this is how things would turn out and it's not a surprise to me
Funny you should ask about your faithless ways
It's amusing that you would ask about your behavior
See, I was devastated for a couple days
Your actions caused me to feel sad for a short period of time
Then I finally realized how you made me suffocate
I finally understood how you were controlling and suffocating in our past relationship
So get up, get out, don't let the door hit your ass
Leave quickly and don't try to come back
Those puppy dog eyes only make me laugh
Your attempt at a cute and innocent expression is not effective
Can't believe this conversation
I can't believe you are still trying to talk to me after everything you did
Can't believe you thought you had a chance
I am surprised you thought there was any possibility of us getting back together
I'm such a stronger person now
I have grown and learned from our past relationship
I must admit I'm enjoying how
I have to admit that I am enjoying seeing you suffer the consequences of your actions
This makes you feel
Your regret and pain is satisfying for me
I think her boyfriend knows
I have a suspicion that your current girlfriend is aware of your past behaviors
You better watch your back, ha
Be careful, there may be consequences for your past actions
And the answer will always be... haha no
I will never take you back, and I find your attempts to change amusing
