Excuses

Verse 1

We stayed out too late, got lipstick on your shirt

Laughin’ through the lies like nobody got hurt

Neighbors heard the shouting, but we just smiled and waved

Said it’s just the way we love, we don’t need to be saved

Chorus

Make excuses for me

I’ll make excuses for you

If you make excuses for me

Baby, I’ll make excuses too

Verse 2

Your mama asked about the bruise, I said it’s from the rain

You told my friends I’m fine, just caught up in the game

We cover up the damage like it’s all part of the plan

Holding tight to something only we understand

Chorus

Make excuses for me

I’ll make excuses for you

If you make excuses for me

Baby, I’ll make excuses too

Bridge

They’ll never know the truth, they’ll only see the show

We’re messy, we’re electric, but we’ll never let em know

If they call us reckless, we’ll just laugh it all away

As long as you’re beside me, I don’t care what they say

Chorus (final)

Make excuses for me

I’ll make excuses for you

If you make excuses for me

Baby, I’ll make excuses too
