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

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

Rejection never felt this good
Everything unclear, 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 was [bad word] 
It's all those things you never said that told me all about you
It's the things you try to conceal that get revealed

And I had to get it wrong before I had got it right
And I'm not the kind to argue, I'm not the kind to fight
By the time I'd reached the [bad word] I'd reached the end

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

Now I'm alone, and I'm burning
I am hurting like [bad word] but I am learning
The scars will take me far like they always do

And I believe I'm alright
I do believe I am alright

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

'Cause now I see how you are
Now I see how you are
Now I see how it is
And now I see what you do
And I watch them line up
I watch them fall down
One after one
One after one
I watch your smile grow and grow and grow
I think to myself, it couldn't be me!
No way!!
