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 true

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 truth 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 hell 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!!
