Rejection - The Strypes

Ejected from the passenger seat

Rejection came to greet me like an empty street

You drove those little conversations

from the middle of creation to defeat

Acceptance is a kick in the shin

Maybe I should’ve kept the bandage on the skin

But babe I bit the bullet too quick

Built it up with a brick too thin

But I’m alright

Can’t you see it in my eyes

I’m forcing a smile and a generous line and goodbye kiss

Yeah I’m just fine

Can’t you hear it in my lies

Telling you it’s all ok

Not to stay not you waste your time

Expected just a little less than this

Exchanged a little nudging for a fist

Now I felt the full blow, oh no

Go go gone and it’s a miss

But I’m alright

Can’t you see it in my eyes

I’m forcing a smile and a generous line and goodbye kiss

Yeah I’m just fine

Can’t you hear it in my lies

Telling you it’s all ok

Not to stay not to waste your time
