Rejection Lyrics - Henry Rollins

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
