Rejection
40 Below Summer · Side Show Freaks
Just one taste and I needed more of your sweet honey
I want you to feel my pain
I want you don't walk away
I need you the time is right
I need to hold you tight
Rejection - I can't believe I'm wrong.
Rejection - Why'd you have to walk away?
Rejection - I can't believe you're gone
Rejection - Why'd you have to turn the page?
Rejection - What the fuck did I do?
Rejection - Why'd you have to walk away?
Rejection - You broke me in two
Rejection
Rejection
What the fuck did I do?
What did I do to deserve the blame?
Rejected me
Well, bitch, you know my name
Handle this shit before I rope ya
I'm gone choke ya throat before I smoke ya
You bet it all, but you don't own me
You tried to front me, but you don't know me
You tried to blow me off without no question
YouÂ’d better pray for divine intervention
Don't walk away
Just walk away
You really didn't think I'd let you walk away so quick
Just one more time I need to feel you around my stick
If you could come my way
What could I do to make you stay?
Then you could penetrate my life
Then you'd rip me up inside
Rejection - I can't believe I'm wrong
Rejection - Why'd you have to walk away?
Rejection - I can't believe you're gone
Rejection - Why'd you have to turn the page?
Rejection - What the fuck did I do?
Rejection - Why'd you have to walk away?
Rejection - You broke me in two
Rejection
Rejection
Pushing and crushing me down on my knees
Taking and breaking and making me bleed
Love is a cock plan its what I don't need
Come split this rock and you'll feel my disease
In my suffering
I can't believe
I can't believe you left me standing here
Occurred to me and then it became clear
Rejected me no, bitch, I don't think so
I'll take you out quick don't even blink so
You cut me up then hung me out to dry
Got ya itch like a bitch you made me cry
But retribution, confusion, illusion
Hairline fracture, multiple contusions
Don't walk away
Just walk away
