Excuses


As spring time led to summer
In tune for hearts to grow
I've bypassed every wonder
Decayed from what I know
Drifting in the air, I can't let go

We're nothing more than you wanted to be
The years go by and now you see
That I'm the only one still mentioning you

There's nothing to say and there's nothing to do
You can't change a thing when there's no getting through
There's nothing left but you've got an excuse

As leaves all burn in autumn
Our summers up in flames
With memories made for deathbeds
When I still showed restraint
Wiping back the tears you can't contain

We're nothing less than you wanted to be
The years go by and now you see
That I'm the only one still mentioning you

There's nothing to say and there's nothing to do
You can't change a thing when there's no getting through
There's nothing left but 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
For every defense I've tried sorting through
With nothing to win and nothing to lose
It's buried in lies with the obvious truth

I've tried my best and seen that it's no use
There's nothing left but we've got an excuse
