So this is rejection
And it's bringing you down
He told you that he'd find work soon
Then he stopped coming around
That was the summer of sweet nights
He used to take you for rides
But it all changed in the backseat
He came inside
PREChorus
Well he's seen enough to know
He's old enough to know what's right from wrong
I know how hard it is to see things through
Chorus
Oh no did it rip you apart?
To be told we could be kings
When we were damned from the start
Oh no did it rip you apart?
They told us we could be kings
When we were damned, damned from the start
VERSE
We've been living to the left of the dial
Hoping drinks and denial will keep us here
I'm not promising you some bright side
We're trying to break your stride
But you asked me, you asked me
He was gone in an instant
They say nobody was spared
Not gonna tell you he loved you
Not gonna tell you he cared
PREChorus
Cause we're all damned
Open wide and you'll see
Cause we're all damned, damned from the start
We're damned from the start
