Excuses, Excuses Lyrics

Sunrise blinds my eyes

I cover my face

Dreading to get through another day

It's hard enough to get out of bed

I would sell my soul to get these thoughts out of my head

Wash my hands till my skin turns red

The thoughts don't go away, and my hands just bleed instead

Excuses, Excuses

They always said

You're just being lazy

You're just being bad

You are not depressed

You're supposed to be the best

Oh excuses, excuses

The only word you ever knew

You'll never know what it drove me to do

Thoughts grow

Take control of my mind

A broken record replays out of time

Don't mean to stare, but it's thrilling

How you can do some things without even thinking

Stopped by a feeling that says something's not right

It's like I can't trust what goes on in my mind

Excuses, Excuses

They would reply

You're just being lazy

You don't want to try

You don't have OCD

You don't need therapy

Oh excuses, excuses

The only word you ever knew

You'll never know what it drove me to do

I know, to you, it doesn't make sense

It looks like I've lost my innocence

I know, to you, it doesn't make sense

But please just believe I'm doing my best

I know, to you, it doesn't make sense

It looks like I've put up a line of defense

I know, to you, it doesn't make sense

But all that I'm asking is for your respect

Excuses, Excuses

They always made

They'd call it a rebellion

They'd call it a phase

You're supposed to feel this way

It's apart of growing up

No one really wants to die

Maybe they've just had enough

Of the excuses, excuses

They always said

You're just being lazy

You're just being bad

You don't have anxiety

Oh, stop your self-pity

Oh the excuses, excuses

The only word you ever knew

You'll never know what it drove me to do
