Excuses

(album: Strangers Again - 2015)

Here's the thing
A light went on when I told her I missed you
'Cause I don't miss you
I just miss all the things that we did
Like playing outside just like kids
Scraping our ankles on blackberry brambles and twigs

I'm so good at this
Making excuses for you
I'm so good at this

He didn't hurt me so
Falling out statement were true
He didn't hurt me so
Least he didn't mean to
But I know you're meant to
Of course I know you're meant to

So let me explain
I was at an expert at dancing 'round questions
But I have to admit
All that dancing was hurting my feet
Still I hit the waltz on my cheek
With my old lady glasses and sun hat I found at the beach

I'm so good at this
Making excuses for you
I'm so good at this

He didn't hurt me so
Falling out statement were true
He didn't hurt me so
Least he didn't mean to
But I know you're meant to
(Ooh, ooh)
'Course I know you're meant to
(Ooh)
'Course I know you're meant to
(Ooh, ooh)
'Course I know you're meant to
(Ooh, ooh)

It felt strange
'Cause the day that you died I was busy
Packing my things
Getting ready to go out of town
When they buried you deep in the ground
I felt so relieved I was finally able to leave
