Beautiful Excuses

I can barely sleep

There's something on my mind

I'm lying in the dark

I'm searching hard to find

For the love that we shared

And the life I left behind

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes

I can scream and shout

But what's the point? It's done

Don't cry before you learn

Fly too close to the sun

You're starting to lose faith

So hold on to your pride

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes

What makes an angel fall in love?

What makes a good man turn and run?

How do you know if she's the one?

I've made all the perfect turn of lies

And I've sugar coated my disguise

But I can't cover this up

With sweet goodbyes, no

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes

She's wrapped up in her thoughts

We haven't spoke in days

She's saying that I've changed

Well she's stuck in her ways

I won't pick up the phone

I've said all there is to say

Gotta be strong

Because it's wrong for me to stay

What makes an angel fall in love?

What makes a good man turn and run?

How do you know if she's the one?

I've made all the perfect turn of lies

And I've sugar coated my disguise

But I can't cover this up

With sweet goodbyes, no

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes

Too many beautiful excuses

Tell me what the use is

Trying to find a way to come back home

How can we correct this if we're disconnected?

I don't know, I don't know.

What makes an angel fall in love?

What makes a good man turn and run?

How do you know if she's the one?

I've made all the perfect turn of lies

And I've sugar coated my disguise

But I can't cover this up

With sweet goodbyes, no

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes
