Lyrics
Poor Excuse
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.
All your toys do is own you
And hold you back from the whole truth
On your way to a graveyard
Could you put them away?
(Chorus)
You'll be just like the other ones
And leave me just like the other ones
I feel so rotten in me
Leave me just like the other ones
Poor excuse for a broken heart
Would you regret yourself more
If you knew what you were used for?
I escaped with a few scars
That decorate my face
(Bridge)
When your life don't follow the plan
And you have nothing like a map
To get to where you may already be going
