Running Out Of Excuses

You said

“I’m busy”

Funny

So am I

Phone face down

Still I see your lies

Same old story

Told a different way

You keep talking

But you never stay

I’m running out of excuses

To keep you around

Every time that I forgive you

You just drag me down

I’m done saving your image

When you drown in your mood swings

I’m running out of excuses

To believe anything

Late night drama

You call

Then disappear

I replay the voicemail

Like it’s something sincere

You love the chase

More than loving me

I’m not a prize

I’m a person

See?

I’m running out of excuses

To keep you around

Every time that I forgive you

You just drag me down

I’m done saving your image

When you drown in your mood swings

I’m running out of excuses

To believe anything

You said “trust me”

Then you changed your name

On every app

Like that erases shame

I used to bend

Till the edges blurred

Now I only trust

What lines up with your words

I’m running out of excuses

To keep you around

Every time that I forgive you

You just drag me down

I’m done saving your image

When you drown in your mood swings

I’m running out of excuses

To believe anything
