I've been makin' excuses ever since you went away

Makin' excuses to my heart

I'm usin' alibis to cover up for all those lies

You've been tellin' me right from the start



Makin' excuses for the times you let me down

I guess I learned a lot from you

Makin' excuses every time you came around

That's all you knew how to do



Now that you're gone I find

That I can't keep an open mind

So I'm makin' excuses to my heart



Makin' excuses for the times you let me down

I guess I learned a lot from you

Makin' excuses every time you came around

That's all you knew how to do



Now that you're gone I find

That I can't keep an open mind

So I'm makin' excuses to my heart
