Excuses Lyrics by Leah Nobel

Strangers Again - EP

2015

[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
