Only Reasons

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The city lights went out, I never planned it I thought the face of every looter was concealed So I broke my neighbor's window like a bandit And pretended hunger gave me cause to steal [Verse 2] There is no such thing as a perfect lover A truly merciful friend is rare to find We all cheat at least a little undercover There is no blacker shadow-side than mine [Chorus] I am so sorry For the tears I brought to your eyes Sorry for the lies I won't offer alibis There are no innocent daughters There are no innocent sons No excuses Only reasons [Verse 3] I don't believe you should forgive me for my treason The man who hurt you was no stranger to myself I won't offer bad excuses, just bad reasons Like I was climbing Jacob's ladder up to hell [Chorus] I am so sorry For the tears I brought to your eyes Sorry for the lies I won't offer alibis There are no innocent daughters There are no innocent sons No excuses Only reasons [Chorus] I am so sorry For the tears I brought to your eyes Sorry for the lies I won't offer alibis There are no innocent daughters There are no innocent sons No excuses Only reasons Just bad reasons
