Life had me on my knees;
Now I’m in stitches
Fixed myself up and watched everyone
Hit their misses
I had to break to fix,
I had to fall to fly
Kept listening to each and every
Stupid cliché line
And I
Keep the strength like I used to
Honey, I know
And I
Keep the faith if I never knew
Now I do —
Coming back for you
'Cause I’m built on rejection
I’m built on rejection
I’m built on rejection
On rejection, I’m built
Don’t be considerate
Cause I’ll believe you
Run dry of desperate times
To always find
Someone new
You say the same to me
You say I’ll work it out —
I’ve had enough of these
Words; they just seem
To shut me down
And I
Could tell you
It got to me
And the truth is
You kinda did —
Now break your bread and I’ll sip my tea
‘Cause
I’m built on rejection
I’m built on rejection
I’m built on rejection
On rejection, I’m built
I’m built on rejection
I’m still, but I’m moving higher up
From the will
Of rejection, and
On rejection, I’m built
Tell me “no”, tell me “no”
I know it’s not the end
Tell me “no”, tell me “no”
And watch me rise again
I’m built on rejection
I’m built on rejection
I’m built on rejection
On rejection, I’m built
I’m built on rejection
I’m built on rejection
I’m built on rejection
On rejection, I’m built
Tell me “no”, tell me “no”
Tell me “no”, tell me “no”
Tell me “no”, tell me “no”
Tell me “no”, tell me “no”
Tell me “no”, tell me “no”
Tell me “no”, tell me “no”
And watch me rise again
