Excuses
Unveiling Regrets: The Painful Reality Behind 'Excuses'
Lyrics
Have you ever thought anything through?
Questioning if the listener has ever considered consequences.
Does it really make any sort of sense to you?
Doubting if the listener can comprehend situations.
I'm not really one to ask for attention
Expressing a reluctance to seek attention.
But you can't even seem to complete a sentence
Pointing out the listener's difficulty in completing sentences.
I don't care if you smoke yourself to death
Indifference towards the listener's self-destructive behavior.
It makes no difference to me, we have nothing left
Stating that the relationship has reached a point of emptiness.
Go on surround yourself with your fake friends
Encouraging the listener to be with insincere companions.
Just remember I hope I never see you again
Expressing a desire not to encounter the listener again.
Excuses excuses, you know that you're wrong
Highlighting the use of excuses and acknowledging wrongdoing.
Have you ever thought it was your fault all along
Suggesting the possibility that the listener is at fault.
You even admit that you're too stubborn
Admitting to the listener's stubbornness.
Though you really know that you have gone and fucked it
Conveying that the listener has irreversibly damaged the situation.
Lying to yourself won't get you anywhere
Warning against self-deception and its futility.
You thought I'd not find out but I don't even care
Claiming awareness of the listener's deceitful actions.
It only took you two months to prove you're going nowhere
Pointing out the listener's lack of progress over two months.
Go back on what you said and prove that summer was wasted
Challenging the listener to prove that the summer was not wasted.
I know what it's like
Expressing understanding of destructive behavior.
To tear down what matters and fix it with lies
Describing a pattern of damaging important things with falsehoods.
I don't care if you think it's fine
Indifference to the listener's perception of their actions.
Just because you do it every time
Commenting on the listener's repetitive behavior.
Tell your mother that I don't really matter
Conveying that the speaker's significance is dismissed to the listener's mother.
Maybe even saying that I am just another
Suggesting that the speaker is viewed as inconsequential.
One of the guys laying in your bed
Referring to casual relationships with others.
But how could you say that about your best friend
Expressing hurt over the listener's negative view of the speaker.
Excuses excuses, you know that you're wrong
Reiterating the theme of excuses and acknowledging wrongdoing.
Have you ever thought it was your fault all along
Repeating the idea that the listener might be at fault.
You even admit that you're too stubborn
Reiterating the listener's admitted stubbornness.
Though you really know that you have gone and fucked it
Emphasizing the irreversible damage caused by the listener.
Lying to yourself won't get you anywhere
Warning against self-deception and its futility.
You thought I'd not find out but I don't even care
Asserting indifference to the listener's efforts to hide the truth.
It only took you two months to prove you're going nowhere
Highlighting the listener's lack of progress over two months.
Go back on what you said and prove that summer was wasted
Challenging the listener to prove that the summer was not wasted.
I don't care if you smoke yourself to death
Reiterating indifference towards self-destructive behavior.
Makes no difference to me we have nothing left
Reiterating the emptiness in the relationship.
So go surround yourself with your fake friends
Encouraging the listener to be with insincere companions.
Just remember I hope I never see you again
Expressing a desire not to encounter the listener again.
Excuses excuses, you know that you're wrong
Repeating the theme of excuses and acknowledging wrongdoing.
Have you ever thought it was your fault all along
Reiterating the possibility that the listener is at fault.
You even admit that you're too stubborn
Reiterating the listener's admitted stubbornness.
Though you really know that you have gone and fucked it
Emphasizing the irreversible damage caused by the listener.
Lying to yourself won't get you anywhere
Warning against self-deception and its futility.
You thought I'd not find out but I don't even care
Asserting indifference to the listener's efforts to hide the truth.
It only took you two months to prove you're going nowhere
Highlighting the listener's lack of progress over two months.

Challenging the listener to prove that the summer was not wasted.
