Excuses

Excuses

So busy for school, for work, for the family, because your mom was sick,

Because your dad always ask you to do a lot of things,

Because of the traffic, the weather, the car won't start,

Lots of excuses I've heard of!

Why do you have to do this for me?

Why do you make me believe you care for only me?

Why do I think all this time your love was true?

Only to realize I was living in your world full of lies.

Why my love, why? Why did you do this to me?

Is it because the time has not been such a friend?

Is it because I left you for a month due to work?

Or is it because of someone who took my place when I was gone?

Yes, I had enough! Enough for excuses!

Just say it, just say you don't love me anymore.

All those time I thought I love a man,

A man who's strong to face the challenges in life,

A man was enough to fight for his love.

Well, now take my advice as a friend,

Don't do such excuses no more

For to love is not to tell excuses and lies

But to tell the truth and above it all,

True love's not worth an excuse after all!.
