Album: Come in and Burn

Rejection

I had it wrong for so long in my head
I was walking around like I was dead
All the time my mind was stuck on you

I crawled while you stalled
I was a fool to think we were involved
I guess I needed to believe it so bad

Rejection never felt so good
All the things unclear are now
so well understood
At first I didn't see it as kind
But you did me a favor
when you left me behind

You might not believe it but it's true

It's all the things you never said that told me
all about you
It's things you try to conceal that get revealed

I had to get it wrong before I got it right
I'm not the kind of argue,
I'm not the kind to fight
By the time I got to the truth
I had reached the end

Now I see how you are
Now I see how it is
Now I see what you do
I watch them line up
I watch them fall down
One after one
I see your smile grow and grow
I think to myself
It could've been me

Now I'm alone and I'm burning
I'm hurting like hell but I'm learning
The scars will take me far like they always do

Somehow I'm alright I do believe that I'm alright
