Rejection
Unveiling Heartache: Nicholas Krgovich's Tale of Sweet Rejection
Lyrics
Why is the one thing that I need to know,
Questioning why the essential information is kept from the speaker.
Just the one thing that I don't get to know?
Expressing frustration about being denied access to crucial knowledge.
And I can't ask you and even if I could,
Feeling unable to inquire due to limitations and foreseeing a lack of response.
There'd be no answer cause there's no answer,
Highlighting the absence of an answer, leading to torment due to uncertainty.
And this unknowing is torture.
Emphasizing the distress caused by not knowing.
And the brutal rejection that you handed me in three,
Reflecting on a rejection experienced in a manner that aimed to be gentle.
Was only because you were sweet and trying not to hurt me,
Recognizing the rejection as a tender effort to prevent causing pain.
But you started to act like you couldn't wait to get me out of your hair,
Observing a change in behavior, indicating eagerness to end the relationship.
And then you did, with a cockeyed certainty,
Describing the finality of the breakup with an odd certainty.
That makes this more about you again.
Noting how the situation focuses more on the other person than on the speaker.
And I didn't even get the chance to be fed up with you,
Regretting not having the opportunity to become frustrated with the partner.
Every time you'd disappear I'd tread so lightly,
Behaving cautiously during the partner's absences, avoiding conflict.
Cause whenever you'd come back I'd be so glad to see you,
Expressing happiness upon the partner's return, excusing their behavior as youthful.
And think ""he's just being youthful and flighty.""
Perceiving the partner's actions as typical of youthfulness and flightiness.
But now I've learned all the times you were sweet with me,
Acknowledging the partner's moments of kindness but questioning their genuineness.
Maybe true in the moment, but somewhere uncertain,
Suspecting the sincerity of the partner's sweetness, unsure about its authenticity.
And I didn't realize our time would be as brief,
Realizing the brevity of the relationship, likening it to a fleeting moment.
As that little kiss over the shower curtain.
Comparing the duration of their time together to a brief, insignificant event.
And the brutal rejection that you handed me in three,
Reiterating the painful experience of rejection endured in a particular way.
Did you get to know with any depth or clarity?
Questioning if the partner truly understood the depth of their rejection's impact.
And I don't blame you but still that don't make this any fun,
Acknowledging the lack of blame but highlighting the unpleasantness of the situation.
I mean, why bother when you can run?
Asking why put effort into something when one can easily walk away.
Which is just what you did,
Describing the partner's action of leaving abruptly.
Showing me I'm not worth it,
Feeling devalued and unimportant due to the partner's actions.
And when you say ""Nick you're so special"", I don't believe you.
Expressing disbelief in the sincerity of being considered special by the partner.
