--- ### **[Intro]** *(Electric guitar, distant heartbeat)* --- ### **[Verse 1]** You knock like nothing happened, Smile like we're okay. You rehearse your explanation, Word for word, every day. "It wasn't what it looked like." "I didn't mean to hurt you." Funny how your story Always changes with the truth. You hold my hands so tightly, Like that can fix the cracks. But broken things remember Every time they're dropped like that. --- ### **[Pre-Chorus]** You call them mistakes. I call them habits. You call it bad luck. I call it a lucky. --- ### **[Chorus]** You've got your favorite excuse, Another "please believe me." Another "it won't happen" That somehow always finds me. You say, "I'm sorry," Like it's magic, Like it erases what you do. Sorry doesn't sound the same after a lie. And I don't know how to trust The same old excuse... One more time. --- ### **[Post-Chorus]** Again... Again... what the fuck that word! --- ### **[Verse 2]** You swear this is the last time, I've heard that line before. You keep asking for forever While I'm sweeping up the floor. I memorized your promises, I know them by heart now. You repeat them like a playlist That keeps skipping somehow. You want another chance, But chances aren't free. Every broken promise Took another piece of me. --- ### **[Pre-Chorus 2]** You keep saying, "People change." Then why Do your excuses Always stay the same? --- ### **[Chorus]** You've got your favorite excuse, A pocket full of reasons. Blaming all the timing, Blaming all the seasons. You ask me to forgive, Before you've learned the truth. Sorry doesn't sound the same after a lie. And apologies Can't glue together Everything you put me through. ### **[Post-Chorus]** Again... Again... what the fuck that word! --- ### **[Bridge]** *(Half-time drums, emotional build)* One apology... Can fix an accident. But a hundred apologies... Can't fix a choice You keep making. Trust isn't lost In one second. It disappears... One excuse at a time. --- ### **[Final Chorus]** *(Full-band anthem)* Keep your favorite excuse, I've heard every version. Every "I was scared," Every "I wasn't thinking." You keep handing me words, When I needed the truth. Sorry doesn't sound the same after a lie. So don't ask me Why I'm walking away. Ask yourself Why saying sorry Became easier Than changing. --- ### **[Outro]** *(Guitar fades, soft vocal)* You got really good... At saying "I'm sorry." You just never got good... At giving me a reason To believe it.
