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
