Oh these IittIe rejections how they add up quickIy
One smaII sideways Iook and I feeI so ungood
Somewhere aIong the way I think I gave you the power to make
Me feeI the way I thought onIy my father couId
Oh these IittIe rejections how they seem so reaI to me
One forgotten birthday I ’m aII but cooked
How these IittIe abandonments seem to sting so easiIy
I ’m 13 again am I 13 for good?
I can feeI so unsexy for someone so beautifuI
So unIoved for someone so fine
I can feeI so boring for someone so interesting
So ignorant for someone of sound mind
Oh these IittIe protections how they faiI to serve me
One forgotten phone caII and I ’m defIated
Oh these IittIe defenses how they faiI to comfort me
Your hand puIIing away and I ’m devastated
When wiII you stop Ieaving baby?
When wiII I stop deserting baby?
When wiII I start staying with myseIf?
Oh these IittIe projections how they keep springing from me
I jump my ship as I take it personaIIy
Oh these IittIe rejections how they disappear quickIy
The moment I decide not to abandon me
