Excuse - The Ettes

I can’t believe you keep comin' 'round

When it’s so clear I just bring you down

You’re all alone 'cause you choose to be

Please, don’t pretend it’s to do with me

You wanna be out

Away from your noose

You wanna be free and

You wanna be loose

You haven’t the backbone

To handle the truth

I’m telling you, girl

You’re just an excuse

I wonder what it’s like to be you

Every day barely getting through

Mother’s advice hanging by a thread

The world out here ain’t what’s in your head

You gather your lies

You make a great wall

You teeter atop it

And try not to fall

I tried to help you

But still you refuse

You’ve done it now girl

You’re just an excuse, now

You wanna be out

Away from your noose

You wanna be free and

You wanna be loose

I wish there was something

I could do for you

Unfortunately

You’re just an excuse
