Rejection

Why is the one thing
That I need to know
Just the one thing that
I don’t get to know
And I can’t ask you
And even if I could
There’d be no answer
‘Cause there’s no answer there
And this unknown
Is torture
A brutal rejection
But you handed me a drink
It was only because you were sweet
And trying not to hurt me
But you started to act like
You couldn’t wait to get me out of your head
And then you did, with the cock-eyed certainty
Makes this more about you again
Yeah
And I didn’t even get the chance
To be fed up with you
Every time you disappeared
I tread so lightly
‘Cause whenever you’d come back I’d be
So glad to see you, and think
‘He's just being youthful
And flighty'
But now I’ve learned all the times
You were sweet with me
May be true in the moment
But somewhere uncertain
And I didn’t realize
Our time would be as brief
As a little kiss over the shower
Curtain
A brutal rejection
But you handled me a drink
Did you get to know with any
Depth or clarity
And I don’t blame you but still
That don’t make this any fun
I mean why bother when you can
Run, which is just what you did
Show me I’m not worth it
And when you say, ‘Nick, you’re so special'
I don’t believe you
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
