I’ve been rejected too many times lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me, why does it feel like every time I’m finally getting ahead
Everything falls apart the second I start to believe in it?
I’m not asking for much, just someone who actually cares
But no matter what I do, it’s like I’m standing still
Watching everyone else find what I’ve been chasing for years
I don’t want to just be a friend you laugh with and forget
I want to hold you close, not just in passing, but for real
I want to say how much I need you
Without second-guessing myself
Not talk about random crap like the weather
Acting like everything's finе
Do you ever wonder if wе could’ve been something more?
But I guess not, since you hit me with that
“I don’t feel the same”

[Chorus]
I’ve been rejected too many times to count
Each “no” leaves me feeling smaller than before
You could at least try to pretend it’s not so easy to say
Instead of tossing me aside like I’m just another failed attempt
It’s always me putting my heart on the line
While you just turn me down without a second thought
Feels like every time I try
I get nothing but silence and disappointment
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I’ve been holding on to these feelings for so long
And I don’t know why
Because they’ve done nothing but drag me down
I never thought wanting something real could be this hard
I thought if I put in the effort, it would mean something
But it’s exhausting to keep getting up
When the ground keeps giving out
I’ve got enough on my plate without having to deal with this
But here I am, adding another rejection to the list
And what’s worse is
I still don’t know how to stop wanting what I can’t have
Maybe I should’ve seen this coming
But I didn’t, and now I’m stuck with it

[Chorus]
I’ve been rejected too many times to count
Each “no” leaves me feeling smaller than before
You could at least try to pretend it’s not so easy to say
Instead of tossing me aside like I’m just another failed attempt
It’s always me putting my heart on the line
While you just turn me down without a second thought
Feels like every time I try
I get nothing but silence and disappointment
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Woah, oh, oh oh, oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh oh
Woah, oh, oh oh, oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh oh
Woah, oh, oh oh, oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh oh
Woah, oh, oh oh, oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh oh
Woah, oh, oh oh, oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh oh

[Chorus]
I’ve been rejected too many times to count
Each “no” leaves me feeling smaller than before
You could at least try to pretend it’s not so easy to say
Instead of tossing me aside like I’m just another failed attempt
It’s always me putting my heart on the line
While you just turn me down without a second thought
Feels like every time I try
I get nothing but silence and disappointment

[Outro]
Oh, oh oh, oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh oh
Woah, oh, oh oh, oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh oh
Woah, oh, oh oh, oh
Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh oh
