Lyrics
YOUR EXCUSE*
Look at my life
Through a dirty window
See ghosts
From a distant past
Caught up in quicksand
For the briefest moment
I steal
A quick glance back
Memories long gone
Chase towards the light
With lungs
Burning for air
I reach out a hand
But then let it drop
So what?
Why should I care?
CHORUS:
Mine was innocence
What's your excuse?
Goodbye, you're gone
So get out of here
Yes, you
How much harm did you do?
Goodbye, you're gone
So get out of here
Yes, you
How much harm did you do?
Mine was innocence
What's your excuse?
Thought I'd left
My past
Where it couldn't haunt me
Sealed up
Under lock and key
When you least expect it
Something stirs the embers
And so
Buried passions break free
CHORUS:
Mine was innocence
What's your excuse?
Goodbye, you're gone
So get out of here
Yes, you
How much harm did you do?
Goodbye, you're gone
So get out of here
Yes, you
Take your poison, we're through.
Mine was innocence
What's your excuse?
MIDDLE 8
(Mine was innocence)
Stood there with your head hung low
Looks like maybe now ya know
You shoulda never let me go
(Mine was innocence)
Such a cold and senseless act
You'd love to take it back
But it's way too late for that
CHORUS:
Mine was innocence
What's your excuse?
Goodbye, you're gone
So get out of here
Yes, you
How much harm did you do?
Goodbye, you're gone
So get out of here
Yes, you
Take your poison, we're through.
Mine was innocence
What's your excuse?
Goodbye, you're gone
So get out of here
Yes, you
How much harm did you do?
Goodbye, you're gone
So get out of here
Yes, you
Take your poison, we're through.
Mine was innocence
What's your excuse?
