Sad Excuse
Love's Deception Unveiled: A Sad Excuse
Lyrics
Let's get it right, before the hand hits 12 tonight
Expressing the urgency to resolve a situation before midnight.
Cause I can see in your eyes, you trip on every word, it's a lie, it's a lie
Observing deceit in the other person's eyes and their struggles with honesty.
And tonight, while there's still time left, and you said everything you wanted to
Emphasizing the importance of speaking one's mind before time runs out.
There's one thing you haven't heard, its my lie, its my lie
Highlighting a hidden truth that the speaker wants the listener to acknowledge.
Lay on your back and raise your right hand
Suggesting a symbolic gesture, possibly a pledge or promise, involving raising the right hand.
This could be the last chance that you get to
Implies a critical moment, possibly a last opportunity to address an issue.
Swear on this knife that you, never loved me, never, never loved me
Asking the listener to swear on a knife that they never loved the speaker.
Because if that's the truth, push it through me, push it, push it through me
Connecting the truth about not being loved with a desire for emotional impact.
But you don't, and you won't, cause you're a sad excuse, yeah you're a sad excuse
Labeling the listener as a "sad excuse," possibly expressing disappointment.
You search directories and somehow you've found out
Describing the act of investigating and discovering information about the speaker's relationships.
Who's sleeping next to me, in my bed, in my bed
Revealing that the listener has knowledge of someone sleeping next to the speaker.
So tonight, while there's still time left and you did everything you wanted to
Reiterating the importance of expressing oneself before time runs out.
There's one thing you haven't heard, it's my lie, it's my lie
Repeating the idea that there is an unheard truth, possibly the speaker's lie.
Lay on your back and raise your right hand
Repeating the symbolic gesture, suggesting its significance in the context of the narrative.
The hardest part is knowing, you didn't have the tact to sit back and react to the truth
Highlighting the difficulty in accepting and reacting appropriately to the truth.
The hardest part is knowing, you didn't have the tact to sit back and
Continuing to emphasize the challenge of responding to the truth with tact.
Swear on this knife that you never loved me, never, never loved me
Reiterating the request for the listener to swear on a knife about not loving the speaker.
Because if that's the truth, push it through me, push it, push it through me
Connecting the truth about not being loved with a desire for emotional impact, repeated from line 10.
Swear on this knife that you...
Repeating the request for the listener to swear on a knife.
Lay on your back and raise your right hand
Repeating the symbolic gesture, indicating its continued importance in the narrative.
Swear on this knife that you...
Repeating the request for the listener to swear on a knife, creating a sense of closure.
