Down With My Excuses

I'm gonna go down with my excuses

It's not been the same since I lost the chance

And all I want is no strings, just flings

But we're stuck being friends

To the bitter end

And I'll be fine for a while

Shake it off with a smile

I won't let you see me crackin'

It's just a slip of the tongue

But a deliberate one

I can't stop rollin' these back-handed compliments

And I don't need this anymore

I'll be clearer than before

Gonna tell you all of my intentions

Now my back's against the wall

All I want is you and nothin' more

I'm gonna go down with my excuses

It's not been the same since I lost the chance

And all I want is no strings, just flings

But we're stuck being friends

To the bitter end

And I'll pretend I'm okay

Just so I can get away

From all the questions I know that you're asking

I'll try to not get attached

I'm clearly not great at that

And I'm always begging you for answers

And I don't need this anymore

I'll be clearer than before

I'm gonna tell you all of my intentions

And now my back's against the wall

All I want is you and nothin' more

(And that sucks)

I'm gonna go down with my excuses

It's not been the same since I lost the chance

And all I want is no strings, just flings

But we're stuck being friends

To the bitter end

I couldn't give it up

I wasn't strong enough

And now I'm back beggin' you for answers

I don't feel good enough

I wasn't strong enough

To tell you everything

(Everything)

I'm gonna go down with my excuses

It's not been the same since I lost the chance

And all I want is no strings, just flings

But we're stuck being friends

Oh oh oh

I'm gonna go down with my excuses

It's not been the same since I lost the chance

And all I want is no strings, just flings

But we're stuck being friends

To the bitter end

Oh oh, oh oh

I hope you know

Oh oh, oh oh

You oughta know

Oh oh, oh oh

I hope you know

To the bitter end
