Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

I’ve chewed my lips apart

So now they won’t hold back

Any words they want

Come stumbling out of them

You said you didn’t need to hear it

But I know you needed my goodbye

You said you didn’t mean it

But I know you never lie,

Never lie.

 

You’ve taken your weaknesses and let them become home

A secret location to hide from the world

Excuses, excuses, excuses,

For being alone.

 

You’ve torn your head apart

So now it won’t hold anything real

Anything your heart wants

Doesn’t matter anymore

You said you never wanna hear it

But I know what you meant

You said you’d never regret staying,

But you’d already left,

Already left

 

You’ve taken your weaknesses and let them become home

A secret location to hide from the world

Excuses, excuses, excuses,

For being alone.

 

Woah, I know it’s hard to put your heart in your mouth

Forget what they said and trust

Woah, I know it’s hard to put your heart in your mouth

And act on what it wants, cause people hurt and wound you.

Woah, I know it’s hard to put your heart in your mouth,

But speaking’s much easier, once you’ve swallowed it down.

 

You’ve taken your weaknesses and let them become home

A secret location to hide from the world

Excuses, excuses, excuses,

For being alone.

 

I’ve chewed my lips apart..

So now they won’t hold back…

Any words they want,

Just come stumbling out of them.

I know, it’s hard,

Excuses, excuses,

I know, it’s hard,

Excuses, excuses, excuses,

I know, it’s hard.
