The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's Always an Excuse
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Always a reason for someone
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Always
Tip toe around the turncoat today
Which mood is going to be today
This time you've done it
You hurt yourself good
Your best friend is gone
Nowhere to turn
All alone no singing
And in true LA style your
Phone's stop ringing
Chorus
Shut it down get it right
Cuz a person can't win if you don't even put up a fight
Get it right
Everyone has something that keeps them awake in the night
That's a fact
Don't think of the times that you gave up and let out some slack
Take it back
Don't think you're the only one going through it
Take it back
Chorus
