You Became My Big Excuse
One time you couldn’t dream, couldn’t see past this life
Something like defeat floated in the evening light
If you land in darkness, no one will keep up…

You kept your place, I moved through a world of strangers
Where’s your tenderness? Everything gets rearranged
If it’s all revealed as treachery and deals
Where’s your grace?

You became my big excuse
The poison that I drink when I sink my teeth in you
You became my big excuse

People that were friends, something comes along—it changes
Fog just doesn’t lift, old hotels and railway stations
Where’s the good in that? You just rush away and pack

You became my big excuse
The poison that I drink when I sink my teeth in you
You became my big excuse

You don’t get my name, all you get’s my reputation
Always been the same, played it close or isolated
But just around the bend, something’s gotta end

I keep too much in, know I’m not much company
If you land in darkness, no one can keep up
Nobody could

You became my big excuse
The poison that I drink when I sink my teeth in you
You became my big excuse

Could be a long, long, long time
Getting over this
Could be a long, long, long time
Getting over…
