[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I saw the warning before I walked in Knew from the look how the night might end Could’ve played smart, could’ve kept it clean Could’ve gone home around 10:15 But you had that look like a bad green light And I had nowhere I needed to be that night One more drink turned into “stay right here” By then, good judgment wasn’t why I was here [Pre-Chorus] Don’t need to blame the timing Don’t need to blame the room I knew exactly what I was doing When I followed you [Chorus] No alibi I went there with my eyes open No alibi I knew exactly what I chose Could’ve stopped at the door Could’ve left it alone But I didn’t So that part’s mine No alibi No alibi [Verse 2] Your phone lit up, you turned it face-down That probably should’ve slowed me down Instead I laughed like, “yeah, okay” Some mistakes introduce themselves that way I’m not proud, but I’m not ashamed There’s a difference and I know the name I knew tomorrow might look less clean Still didn’t make me want to leave [Pre-Chorus] Don’t need to blame the music Don’t need a better excuse I had enough time to walk away I just didn’t choose to [Chorus] No alibi I went there with my eyes open No alibi I knew exactly what I chose Could’ve stopped at the door Could’ve left it alone But I didn’t So that part’s mine No alibi No alibi [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Morning came with your shoes by the chair My jacket somehow ended up nowhere You asked me, “So what happens now?” I said, “Probably exactly what we talked about.” Nothing hidden in what we said No secret deal waiting after the fact You smiled like maybe I passed the test Or maybe there was never a test to pass [Bridge] I had plenty of chances Nobody twisted my arm Saw enough to know better Stayed long enough not to care That’s the part people edit When they tell it afterward Make themselves a little innocent Make somebody else look worse Not this time I was there I made the call That’s it [Final Chorus] No alibi I went there with my eyes open No alibi Nothing happened by mistake Could’ve stopped at the door Could’ve changed my mind But I knew better And I did it anyway No alibi I chose the risk No alibi And I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t do it twice [Outro] No excuse No defense Bad judgment? Maybe. Still made sense.
