No is a complete answer.

The first no.

My instincts scream danger, so I walk right in.

Colourblind myself - let the games begin.

My conscience protests but you silence the din,

until your mask slips and your lies wear thin.

I'm so used to fear I feel lonely without it

some offered me peace but I came unequipped.

You hear me say no and you disregard it;

bulldoze me and this mad girl's enchanted.

I keep you a secret, which leads to a lie

can't tell a soul my new reason to cry

but then I wake up and our end is nigh

I can't tell you 'don't', but I can say goodbye.
