Excuses

Come around, talk to me

The are things that we need to discuss

I can see your way out

But you never try to help yourself

So are you better off now?

And as you fight the feelings

You must be strong and not give in

You could be better off now

You've got to fight this all the way

No more words left to say

I know there are many you can blame

But in the end you will lose

If you choose to just go on the same

And are you better off now?

If you are still here breathing

There is a chance to put things right

So are you better off now?

Just take control of your own life

Just realise that there's a world around you

We all try so hard, and you don't care at all

'Cos it's thrown back in my face

And I'm tired of your excuses

You're not here on your own

Why do I talk to you

When you don't take in a word

And reject everything

The many times I've thrown a line your way

So are you better off now?

And while I'll watch them grieving

You're gonna leave it all to me

And are you better off now?

You are that selfish you don't see

Just realise that there's a world around you

We all try so hard, and you don't care at all

'Cos it's thrown back in my face

And I'm tired of your excuses

You're not here on your own

When you just accept your weakness

How can you expect to beat this?
