Built on Excuses

#VERSE You stand there with your arms crossed tight Thinking that you’re always right Dodging blame to shift the weight But we see it’s written on your face #CHORUS Built on excuses You never let it land Pointing all of your fingers With your head tucked in the sand #VERSE You laugh it off with a practiced grin Like that could cover up your sins You say it’s only you who knows But the crack’s starting to grow You say you’re strong but that’s for show Afraid to fail but we all know Your walls are high but they’re paper thin And we watch as the truth creeps in #CHORUS Built on excuses You never let it land Pointing all of your fingers With your head tucked in the sand Built on excuses You know that is your only play A big crumbling fortress Deep inside you know you’re to blame #VERSE One day your whole house will fall Living with your back against the wall And when you’re left with only fear Will you finally start to hear You pushed away the things you feel Covered wounds that never heal An inner child with a broken toy A basic truth you can’t destroy #CHORUS Built on excuses You never let it land Pointing all of your fingers With your head tucked in the sand Built on excuses You know that is your only play A big crumbling fortress Deep inside you know you’re to blame
