"Excuses" lyrics

I tend to overthink, eyes strained, I'm scared to blink
Of missing out so I barely sleep at all, ay
Friends, they check on me, since you left maybe twice a week
Just throw on a happy face through it all

Last week I went downtown four nights 'cause baby I'm not sure
How I should occupy my time, you did all that for me before
I got a vowel sound stuck in my head going you you you
Ever since you bowed out I ran out of excuses I could use

You were my excuse for another year of school
For that one trip to Baton Rouge
For smelling like cigarettes and booze
Baby you know you were my excuse
For that ugly pair of shoes
You bought me saying they were cool
Guess all those times you bent the truth
You got me

You got me bent outta shape
So long, so long yeah
Whatever you say
I'm gone, I'm gone yeah
Remember the days
I'll wait right there forever
Now you're my excuse for
Going and finding something, finding something better

Oh whoa oh
Finding someone better
Did we learn what love is?
See that we ain't above it?
Reruns of you in my head
Tryna outrun in it

Last month I moved uptown towards that grocery store you hate
But I quit cooking now, I just order out and miss making you a plate
I toss and turn till the morning, why you going drink for drink
For drink, no excuse for the weekend

You were my excuse for another year of school
For that one trip to Baton Rouge
For smelling like cigarettes and booze
Baby you know you were my excuse
For that ugly pair of shoes
You bought me saying they were cool
Guess all those times you bent the truth
You got me

You got me bent outta shape
So long, so long yeah
Whatever you say
I'm gone, I'm gone yeah
Remember the days
I'll wait right there forever
Now you're my excuse for
Going and finding something, finding something better
Oh, finding something better
