Jake's Back Porch (Response to lisa chase995 song "Gin And Tissues")

[Intro] This Songs About Becoming Someone's Scapegoat Not Any More....... Not Today!!!!..... [Verse 1] You wore that smile like a knife At Jake's back porch, in front of your friends Said I played you all this time Made me the villain again You raised your glass and laughed Like my name was a joke on your tongue I stood there taking the blast While your whole crowd cheered you on [Pre-Chorus] But I saw the truth in your hands When you reached for that bottle again You needed somebody to blame To cover the cracks you live in [Chorus] I'm just your excuse to drink Your easy way out I'm just your excuse to drink When the truth cuts loud You point at me, you hide the sink Then you pour one down I'm just your excuse to drink And that cuts me down [Verse 2] This is the third time now You've burned love down in your own name Same speech, same burned-out vows Same hurt, same blame Every time I ask why You turn my heart into your screen Set me up as the bad guy So you don't have to clean [Pre-Chorus] But I see the truth in your eyes When the room goes still and you shake You don't want a man to stay You want a reason to break [Chorus] I'm just your excuse to drink Your easy way out I'm just your excuse to drink When the truth cuts loud You point at me, you hide the sink Then you pour one down I'm just your excuse to drink And that cuts me down [Bridge] So take my name off your tongue Take my heart out of your blame I was never the one You were fighting the shame And now I know what you mean When you say I let you down I was never the thing You were drowning around [Final Chorus] I'm just your excuse to drink Your easy way out I'm just your excuse to drink When the truth cuts loud You point at me, you hide the sink Then you pour one down I'm just your excuse to drink And I'm walking out
