Excuses

[Verse 1]

Learnin' how to say no

Even when you don't understand why

'Cause it's for me

It's not about you even though I feel you want it to be

Not stuck in a maybe

But sure what I want to say

[Chorus]

I gotta care about myself more than I have been

'Cause I just can't go on being your air

If I can't breathe

I can't be your strength

If I don't take care of me

This is an excuse that is needed

This is an excuse that is needed

Lately I've been feeling depleted

So there you have my reason

This is an excuse that is needed

[Verse 2]

Let me know do I need a life jacket

You know my tears fall that much?

Baby, I don't wanna feel stranded

If you're not gonna be sure about what you say

'Cause baby, it's that way with me

'Cause I don't use the words if I don't know

Exactly what they mean

[Chorus]

I gotta care about myself more than I have been

'Cause I just can't go on being your air

If I can't breathe

I can't be your strength

If I don't take care of me

This is an excuse that is needed

This is an excuse that is needed

Lately I've been feeling depleted

So there you have my reason

This is an excuse that is needed

[Outro]

This is an excuse that is needed

Lately I've been feeling depleted

So there you have my reason

This is an excuse that is needed
