1. REJECTED

You - laughing in my face
Put me in my place
Trying to erase
Everything i've worked so hard to make

Now i realize
That all my dreams have died
Why couldn't you have lied?
Would have been much easier to take

I give you all i have but
It's just - not - good - enough
I try to up my game but
It's - just - not - cutting - it
What will it take to prove that
I - can - measure up ?
Is something wrong with me or does the
Fault - lie - with - you?

Break my will. Question my skill, in for the kill, you bludgeon me till i'm defenceless
Criticize! Your best disguise, cut me down to size, to shake your competition

You're - two steps above my league
We're not from the same breed
Do i need punishment?
I can't possibly succeed

Filling with regret
Better hedge my bets
Looks like i just met my match
it's time that i retreat

I give you all i have but
It's just - not - good - enough
I try to up my game but
It's - just - not - cutting - it
What will it take to prove that
I - can - measure up ?
Is something wrong with me or does the
Fault - lie - with - you?

Break my will, question my skill, in for the kill, you bludgeon me till i'm defenceless
Criticize! Your best disguise, cut me down to size, to shake your competition

Now - i'm finding my own voice
Time to make the choice
Don't have to take your cue
My point of view doesn't start or end with you

What is it going to take?
You've made a big mistake
You underestimate my ability to start again anew

I give you all i have but
It's just - not - good - enough
I try to up my game but
It's - just - not - cutting - it
What will it take to prove that
I - can - measure up ?
Is something wrong with me or does the
Fault - lie - with - you?

Break my will, question my skill, in for the kill, you bludgeon me till i'm defenceless
Criticize! Your best disguise, cut me down to size, to shake your competition

[Chorus:] (x2)
Break my will, question my skill, a bitter pill
I won't be persuaded
Lesson learned, won't be concerned,
The fire still burns,
Can handle being rejected!
