Lyrics

You can't handle subtlety
So let me put it succinctly
An acrimonious melody
Straight to you from me

I know to you this may seem weak
But my head can't turn the other cheek
No more words, let deeds convey
My heart will find another way

Just turning up to be turned down
Expecting you to not want me around

Time to liberate
No words can illustrate
Futile now to show restraint
Giving it to you straight

Can no longer be discrete
Too little light, with too much heat
No more avoidance and retreat
It's time to try a new technique

I'm turning up to be turned down
Expecting you to not want me around
You think you failed, I know you quit
Now is the end of all of it

It's time for a conclusion
Conclusion, delusion
A different sort of resolution
Resolution, dissolution
Made up my mind
Gonna be different this time

I'm turning up to be turned down
Expecting you to not want me around
You think you failed, I know you quit
Now is the end of all of it
I'm turning up to be turned down
Expecting you to not want me around
You think you failed, I know you quit
Now is the end of all of it

Feeling vengeful and venomous
Hair-trigger treacherous
The last petal has been plucked
Not giving in, I'm giving up

I make it better, you make it worse
You get the blessing, I feel the curse
You've taken pleasure from my pain
You get the credit, and I take all the blame

I'm turning up to be turned down
Expecting you to not want me around
You think you failed, I know you quit
Now is the end of all of it
I'm turning up to be turned down
Expecting you to not want me around
You think you failed, I know you quit
Now is the end of all of it

Just turning up to be turned down
