Why Should I Lie

Excuses, for me, is to block what I don't want to say.

Excuses give me reasons to change a perfect day.

Excuses are not an option to do right or wrong.

Excuses are what we use to change a written song.

Using my mind to change a situation,

knowing I could crash with any revelation.

If I tell you a reason why it doesn't have to be a lie.

Just a sugar-coated reason to give me an alibi.

Yes, I am going to explain,

how an answer could drive you insane.

Yet, I maintain, the reason I have to restain.

I have no excuse of why I couldn't see,

where I suppose to be.

With you constantly asking me,

I know an excuse will set me free.
