Don't Stop The Rejections

I feel the pain of acceptance

I don’t want to be who I’m not supposed to be

I have tried to be normal, but I wanted to shoot myself

Because normal has done nothing but give me endless grief

I’m starting over

I’m being myself

And if you don’t like it

Then take yourself somewhere else

Don’t stop the rejection

Don’t stop the rejection

Don’t stop the rejection

Don’t stop the rejection

Let me be me

And you be normal

That’s how it’s going to be

And that will never change

I feel the tension melting away

If you don’t want to be around me

Well, that’s OK

Bring it on

Don’t stop the rejection

Don’t stop the rejection

Don’t stop the rejection

Don’t stop the rejection

I’m cutting my ties to the world

I’m going to start living for me

You will never accept me

And I will never please you

Don’t stop the rejection

Don’t stop the rejection

Don’t stop the rejection

Don’t stop the rejection…
