Verse 1: You say you're busy, say you're tired Say the world’s on fire But every time I need you close You disappear, like smoke You’ve got a reason every time Why you can't cross that line But somehow, when it’s all for you You find a way right through Pre-Chorus: I’ve bent my heart, I’ve held my tongue But I’m not the foolish one You wear a mask, I see the cracks But I still come running back Chorus: Another excuse, another lie Another way to make me cry You spin your stories, play your part While I keep stitching up my heart Another excuse, another game I take the fall, you dodge the blame You call it love, but what's the use? When all you give... is another excuse Verse 2: You say you’re trying, say you care But love shouldn’t feel unfair I’m drowning in your shallow sea While you just float on me You say I’m “too emotional” Like caring is a crime But I’ve been holding up this house While you just pass the time Rap Verse 1 (after Verse 2): You gaslight me, say I’m too much But you only show up when it benefits us “Us” means “you,” let’s keep it real You only chase what helps you heal You play the victim in your scene But I know what manipulation means I gave love, you gave conditions Now I’m just another name on your list of omissions Pre-Chorus: I begged for truth, you gave me doubt Built your walls and locked me out I’ve memorized your every spin Still hoping I might win Chorus: Another excuse, another lie Another way to make me cry You spin your stories, play your part While I keep stitching up my heart Another excuse, another game I take the fall, you dodge the blame You call it love, but what's the use? When all you give... is another excuse Rap Bridge: You say I’m crazy, I call it clarity Truth hit different when it shatters your fantasy You built a kingdom made of smoke Said “I love you” like it was a joke I held you down, you held your pride I gave you tears, you took your time Now I’m not bitter, I’m just free From the chains of who you needed me to be Final Chorus: Another excuse, I’ve heard them all But now I’m done just taking the fall You spin your stories, wear your crown But I won’t let you pull me down No more excuses, no more chains I’m walking out, you can keep the games You called it love, but I see through It was never love—just another excuse
