Henry Rollins - Rejection lyrics

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
