Excuses

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Here's the thing I lied when 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 [Pre-Chorus] I'm so good at this Making excuses for you I'm so good at this [Chorus] 'He didn't hurt me Sir' If only that statement were true 'He didn't hurt me Sir' Least he didn't mean to But I know you meant to Of course I know you meant to [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I'm so good at this Making excuses for you I'm so good at this [Chorus] 'He didn't hurt me Sir' If only that statement were true 'He didn't hurt me Sir' Least he didn't mean to But I know you meant to (Ooh, ooh) 'Course I know you meant to (Ooh) 'Course I know you meant to (Ooh, ooh) 'Course I know you meant to (Ooh, ooh) [Verse 3] 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
