Why'd you take that away from me
Just one taste and I needed a little more of your sweet honey
I want you to feel my pain
I want you, don't walk away
I need you, the time is right
I need to hold you tight

Rejection, I can't believe you're gone
Rejection, why'd you have to walk away
Rejection, I can't believe you're gone
Rejection, now it's time to turn the page
Rejection, What the fuck did I do
Rejection, why'd you have to walk away
Rejection, you broke me in two
Rejection, Rejection

What the fuck did I do
What did I do to deserve the blame
Remember this, and don't forget my name
Handle this shit before I rope ya
I'm gonna slit your throat before I smoke ya
Bet it all - but you don't own me
You tried to punk me - but you don't know me
You tried to blow me off without no question
You better pray for divine intervention

You really didn't think I'd let you walk away from me
Just one more time, I need to feel your lips around this piece
If you could come my way, what could I do to make you stay
Then you could penetrate my life, then you'd rip me up inside

Rejection, I can't believe you're gone
Rejection, Why'd you have to walk away
Rejection, I can't believe you're gone
Rejection, Now it's time to turn the page
Rejection, What the fuck did I do
Rejection, Why'd you have to walk away
Rejection, you broke me in two
Rejection, Rejection

Pushing and crushing me, down on my knees
Taking and breaking, and making me scream
I can't contain this, I'll make you all bleed
You've opened me up, now you'll feel my disease
In my suffering (stop)
Suffering (dying too)

Even in my suffering, I'll make you believe
You can't believe I'll make you disappear
Occurred to me, and then it became clear
Rejected me, oh no, I don't think so
I'll take you out quick, don't even blink ..so
You cut me up and hung me out to dry
Got your itch, like a bitch, you made me cry...but
Retribution, confusion, illusion
hairline fracture, multiple contusion
Don't walk away
Just run away

    40 below summer is one of the most awesome bands...This is one of my favorite songs, and it rawks of course. Means a lot to me, cause I was rejected by someone that i really cared about, but he's asking all these questions and not getting a reply so he's getting pissed off and is thinking that if he can't find the answers then he'll just have to take it out on someone.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
