Excuses

As you shrug your shoulders
You're looking for excuses to postpone
So I grin and bear it
And I pray for my mind to turn into stone
Well, I'm not surprised
I always knew this would end up in disaster
So I listen in silence
Hush my dear, let's hear my heart beating a bit faster

And you're out of sight but not out of mind
Grab me by the wrist and I'll be delighted
Allow me to insist and to speak upright

I'm one in a million
But I'd kill all the others to be seen
And when you finally adore me
My sense of self decayed somewhere in between
I'm intoxicated
I prefer listening to you to speaking myself
At least put me aside
If you need me you can take me out of the shelf

And you're out of sight but not out of mind
Grab me by the wrist and I'll be delighted
Allow me to insist and to speak upright
I can't find a word that wouldn't be too kind

And once you understand
The purity
You might be proud
Of what you built in me
An architect
Who destroys his work
Won't ever have a place
Where he could decree

And you're out of sight but not out of mind
Grab me by the wrist and I'll be delighted
Allow me to insist and to speak upright
I can't find a word that wouldn't be too kind
