Lauren Cassidy - Excuses, Excuses

Sunrise blinds my eyes
I cover my face
Dreading to get through another day
It's hard enough to get out of bed
I would sell my soul to get these thoughts out of my head
Wash my hands till my skin turns red
The thoughts don't go away, and my hands just bleed instead
Excuses, Excuses
They always said
You're just being lazy
You're just being bad
You are not depressed
You're supposed to be the best
Oh excuses, excuses
The only word you ever knew
You'll never know what it drove me to do
Thoughts grow
Take control of my mind
A broken record replays out of time
Don't mean to stare, but it's thrilling
How you can do some things without even thinking
Stopped by a feeling that says something's not right
It's like I can't trust what goes on in my mind
Excuses, Excuses
They would reply
You're just being lazy
You don't want to try
You don't have OCD
You don't need therapy
Oh excuses, excuses
The only word you ever knew
You'll never know what it drove me to do
I know, to you, it doesn't make sense
It looks like I've lost my innocence
I know, to you, it doesn't make sense
But please just believe I'm doing my best
I know, to you, it doesn't make sense
It looks like I've put up a line of defense
I know, to you, it doesn't make sense
But all that I'm asking is for your respect
Excuses, Excuses
They always made
They'd call it a rebellion
They'd call it a phase
You're supposed to feel this way
It's apart of growing up
No one really wants to die
Maybe they've just had enough
Of the excuses, excuses
They always said
You're just being lazy
You're just being bad
You don't have anxiety
Oh, stop your self-pity
Oh the excuses, excuses
The only word you ever knew
You'll never know what it drove me to do
