Tell me how it's gonna be
With so much at stake
My heart fears there's a game
So babe is that a risk we're willing to take
It gives us the peace we need
A happiness we crave
A love we like to taste
And we just can't deny it
And we can try and try
Ignore what our hearts say
Oh I love the excuses
It keeps us from parting ways
When the going gets real
We freeze and hesitate
Make you feel we're stuck in a daze
Reminds me to not be afraid
Oh I love the excuses
Yeah I love the excuses
Your kisses make me weak
When you look my way
I smile like a freak
We haven't been treated the best
It's hard for me to settle for less
Yeah it's a secret babe
We can't tell the rest
Even though we can't share it
Or don't wanna feel it
I look at you
And I'm reminded
Of all the reasons why
Oh I love the excuses
It keeps us from parting ways
When the going gets real
We freeze and hesitate
Make you feel we're stuck in a daze
Reminds me to not be afraid
Yeah I love the excuses
Yeah I love the excuses
Oh I love the excuses
Yeah I love the excuses
Let me walk if there's no tomorrow
I tried to talk but you didn't try though
And we can try and try it's going nowhere
Ignoring what my heart says
Oh I love the excuses
It keeps us from parting ways
When the going gets real
We freeze and hesitate
Make you feel we're stuck in a daze
Reminds me to not be afraid
Yeah I love the excuses (Oh I love the excuses)
Yeah I love the excuses (Oh I love the excuses)
Oh I love the excuses (Oh I love the excuses)
Yeah I love the excuses
