So this is rejection
And itâs bringing you down
He told you that heâd 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
Well heâs seen enough to know
Heâs old enough to know whatâs right from wrong
I know how hard it is to see things through
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
You told him you loved him
But pushing come to show
There were no easy answers
Mixing money and blood
He was too young to know better
And you were unemployed
The sergeant promised a cake walk
But then he got deployed
Iâve seen enough, enough to know
Itâs not about which side youâre on
I know how hard it is to keep it in
Oh no did it rip you apart?
To be told we could be kings
When we were damned from the start
I know that it rips you apart
They told us we could be kings
When we were damned, damned from the start
Weâve been living to the left of the dial
Hoping drinks and denial will keep us here
Iâm not promising you some bright side
Weâre 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
Well Iâve seen enough, enough to know
Sometimes with the truth you gotta let it go
I know how hard it is to keep it in
I wonât going rip you apart
And tell you, you could be king
I donât wanna break your heart
I wonât going rip you apart
So open wide and youâll sing
âCause weâre all damned
Open wide and youâll see
âCause weâre all damned, damned from the start
Weâre damned from the start
