I Say No
[VERONICA]
You are a drug, 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 I 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
[J.D, spoken]
Veronica, who else is gonna–
[VERONICA, spoken]
No, no, no, no!
[VERONICA]
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 love will win
And hate will earn you nothing in the end
This is the end
[J.D, spoken]
But I love you!
[VERONICA, spoken]
Dude.
[VERONICA]
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!
