Excuses

(Album: Run River North - 2014)

Came into your town
You weren't even there
Like you said you were
And I do, I really care
Pretend it doesn't hurt
Smile because it's easy
Don't ask me what's wrong
It's enough without me telling you

Everyone has a reason
Everyone has a cold
Stairs that never lead
And a face they never show
Play 'til you get caught
You're selfish 'til you're dead
You're speaking way too fast
You've forgotten what you said

But you said oooh no
Acting like a fool
Oooh no
It's hard to face the truth
Oooh no
I'm still acting like a fool
Oooh no
I'm just scared of losing you

I felt the same
Been there before
Meant to call your name
But kept silent 'til the morning
I know your mama's sick
You're scared of poverty

But you're speaking like a child
Petty and ugly
Play 'til you get caught
You're selfish 'til you're dead
You're speaking way too fast
You've forgotten what you said

But you said oooh no
Acting like a fool
Oooh no
It's hard to face the truth
Oooh no
I'm still acting like a fool
Oooh no
I'm just scared of losing you

You can tell me lies and I won't even know it
You can tell the truth and you would only hear
You can tell me lies and I won't even know it
You can tell the truth and no one really cares
You can tell me lies and I won't even know it
You can tell the truth and you would only hear
You can tell me lies and I won't even know it
You can tell the truth and no one really cares

Oh no
I'm acting like a fool
Oh no
It's just hard to face the truth
Oh no
I'm still acting like a fool
Oh no
I'm just scared of losing you
