Excuses

We were just good friends
Heard it many times before (excuses, excuses)
They ain't mean nothing babe
That was a good line before (excuses, excuses)

Must've had amnesia
During all that time
I was taking you out
They was on my mind
Never meant to hurt your feelings
What I gotta say
That never happened
Put it on my grave
I repeat that
I believe that
Now I'm leading you on
If you buy what I'm selling
Would that be leaving you broke
I knew it wouldn't hurt if you were clueless
Reflecting on the past it was excuses
I, I don't wanna do this
I know it could ruin
I, I'll never admit it
I said my side and I, I'm sticking to it

We were just good friends
Heard it many times before (excuses, excuses)
They ain't mean nothing babe
That was a good line before (excuses, excuses)

Tried to love you with everything I had though
Say it's what you want but didn't when you had though
We at odds cuz it ain't even like that
You reading too far into it: paperback
I was, I was guarding your feelings
It was, it was too much to deal with
Something, something you couldn't handle
Then you, then you flew off the handle
You was nagging, I was bagging
You was looking, I was grabbing
Said you wanted me to focus
Then cause all of my distractions
This ordeal is getting realer than it should be
Want me to say something that's gon' make me guilty

We were just good friends
Heard it many times before (excuses, excuses)
They ain't mean nothing babe
That was a good line before (excuses, excuses)
That was a good line

Can't even explain why I do this sh*t
Got a good thing but I ruin it
Every time anything matters
Saying I'll change, it's the same pattern

We were just good friends
(we were good friends)
Heard it many times before
(heard it before, and I heard it before)
They ain't mean nothing babe
(oh nothing babe, oh nothing)
That was a good line before
A good line, once upon a time (ohh)
