Lyrics

Excuses

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.

I've been thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout you too much

Lately it's been like you ain't there when we touch

I've tried everything but we keep losing us

Oh I, oh I, guess everything ain't enough

Why can't you just be open and talk to me?

Asking how you feel, then you get up and leave

Talking you and me used to come easily

Oh I, oh I, but right now we hardly speak

So tell me now do you, do you even know what you did to me?

I'm going out of my mind every secret that you're keeping

Oh why won't you let me in? Oh darling, oh darling, and I

But it's useless every time you pull me back with one kiss

And I'm telling everyone you didn't mean to do it

And we can make it through this, oh darling, oh darling

But I'm just making up excuses

You and I, you and I, been like this way too long

All I know it shouldn't be this hard to hold on

It's hard to be 'round you but I hate it when you're gone

Oh, tell me what's going wrong, yeah

So tell me now do you, do you even know what you did to me?

I'm going out of my mind every secret that you're keeping

Oh why won't you let me in? Oh darling, oh darling, and I

But it's useless every time you pull me back with one kiss

And I'm telling everyone you didn't mean to do it

And we can make it through this, oh darling, oh darling

But I'm just making up excuses

And I could blame myself

But it's your fault as well

We're crying out for help, oh

And I could blame myself

But it's your fault as well

We're crying out, crying out

Saying do you, do you even know what you did to me?

I'm going out of my mind every secret that you're keeping

Oh why won't you let me in? Oh why won't you let me in, ah?

But it's useless every time you pull me back with one kiss

And I'm telling everyone you didn't mean to do it

And we can make it through this, oh darling, oh darling

But I'm just making up excuses

Woah oh oh, woah oh oh

Woah oh oh, woah oh oh

And I'm telling everyone you didn't mean to do it

And we can make it through this, oh darling, oh darling

But I'm just making up excuses
