I really don't think she meant to pull my hair I'm caught in a fist fight it doesn't hurt I swear No I promise she's not as bad as you may think But it's true she's convinced me I'll never be anything She made me cry as her cry for help by Making friends with the enemy to control how I felt Tastes like jealousy with my name in her mouth My ego is dinner she's chewing so loud But I think that I can muffle the sound I live to learn In pain as I do I love to make excuses for you Befriend the flame and you'll burn I learned that from you I love to make excuses I really don't think he's fully self aware I'm scared to tell him why he'll blame it on what I'm wearing Besides he's a nice guy we've been friends for a while But out of the blue he chooses to cross a line Slow down pick up on my queues This was not in my mind when I said I'd like to get to know you But you know what you meant The nice guys lament I told you I loved you to you that means yes Mansplain again your version of my consent I love to hurt I learn as I do I learned to make excuses from you Avoid the truth and you'll burn You're always gonna lose Unless you can yearn to break the use of excuses I love to turn to girls who like to pull my hair I learn to excuse abusers who are self aware I'm learning from people who hurt me for years But my biggest lesson is finally clear You choose me because I'm your biggest fear And I wanna say thank you because you got me here For all that you put me through I've used up every last excuse
