Excuses (original version)


I don't know what you're thinking
These memories come and go
Inside my head, an attic
Though they can't find a home
Ringing in my ears, I'm still alone

Now we're anything you want us to be
I wish that you could talk to me
But I'm the only one still mentioning you

There's nothing to say and there's nothing to do
I tried my best but I couldn't get through
There's nothing left though you've got an excuse

I'm not sure what you're saying
In time our time's exhumed
Some friendly fire to mention
Beyond this empty room
Dealing with the devil, there's no use

Now we're anything you want us to be
I wish that you could talk to me
But I'm the only one still mentioning you

There's nothing to say and there's nothing to do
I tried my best but I couldn't get through
There's nothing left though I've got an excuse

Tortured nights never led to a truce
No thoughts could describe all the words we've abused
There's nothing here that means a thing at all

Marking your steps as you stopped looking down
Ashamed of the past and there's no one around
Still inching forward as we learn to crawl

There's nothing to say and there's nothing to do
I've outgrown my weakness of waiting on you
With nothing to win and nothing to lose
It's buried in lies with the obvious truth

I tried my best but still I can't get through
There's nothing left though we've got an excuse
