Rejections Cold
Unwritten Law Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all good things come to her now
And this has been a long time coming
Its too late to make a move
You choke on every word you say
And now its time boy
Rejections cold
Maybe a less of all but
The problems solved
Rejections cold
You know I told you so
Maybe a less of all but
The problems solved
Can I confess the lessons learned
And now we've seen the tables turned
For giving in isn't even an option
And I would hate to play pretend
Nothing for me to defend
On your way boy
(ya)
Rejections cold
You know I told you so
Maybe a less of all but
The problems solved
Rejections cold
You know I told you so
Maybe a less of all but
The problems solved
(the problem solved)
(no problem)

Do you know you talk and talk my vern
Do you understand that you constantly speak my language or slang?
And all good things come to her now
She is finally receiving the positive things she deserves
And this has been a long time coming
The situation has been brewing for a while
Its too late to make a move
Any action taken now wouldn't matter
You choke on every word you say
You struggle to express yourself clearly
And now its time boy
It's time for you to leave
Rejections cold
Being rejected is harsh
You know I told you so
I predicted this outcome
Maybe a less of all but
Perhaps there could have been less drama and stress
The problems solved
The issue has been resolved
Can I confess the lessons learned
May I admit the knowledge I've gained from this experience
And now we've seen the tables turned
The roles have reversed
For giving in isn't even an option
Surrendering is not even a consideration
And I would hate to play pretend
I don't want to pretend anymore
Nothing for me to defend
I have no reason to defend my actions
On your way boy (ya)
It's time for you to go (yes)
(the problem solved)
(the issue has been resolved)
(no problem)
(there is no longer an issue)
