Oh these little rejections how they add up quickly One small sideways look and I feel so ungood
Somewhere along the way I think I gave you the power to make Me feel the way I thought only my father could
Oh these little rejections how they seem so real to me One forgotten birthday I´m all but cooked How these little abandonments seem to sting so easily I´m 13 again am I 13 for good?
I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful So unloved for someone so fine I can feel so boring for someone so interesting So ignorant for someone of sound mind
Oh these little protections how they fail to serve me
One forgotten phone call and I´m deflated Oh these little defenses how they fail to comfort me Your hand pulling away and I´m devastated
When will you stop leaving baby? When will I stop deserting baby? When will I start staying with myself?
Oh these little projections how they keep springing from me I jump my ship as I take it personally Oh these little rejections how they disappear quickly The moment I decide not to abandon me
