Lyrics Excuses - Cassie

Excuses

Learnin' how to say no
Even when you don’t understand why
'Cause it’s for me
It’s not about you even though I feel you want it to be
Not stuck in a maybe
But sure what I want to say
I gotta care about myself more than I have been
Because I just can’t go on being your air
If I can’t breathe
I can’t be your strength
If I don’t take care of me
This is an excuse that is needed
This is an excuse that is needed
Lately I’ve been feeling depleted
So there you have my reason
This is an excuse that is needed
Let me know do I need a life jacket
You know my tears fall that much?
Baby, I don’t want you stranded
If you’re not gonna be
Sure about what you say
'Cause baby, it’s that way with me
'Cause I don’t use my words if I don’t know
Exactly what they mean
I gotta care about myself more than I have been
Because I just can’t go on being your air
If I can’t breathe
I can’t be your strength
If I don’t take care of me
This is an excuse that is needed
This is an excuse that is needed
Lately I’ve been feeling depleted
So there you have my reason
This is an excuse that is needed
This is an excuse that is needed
Lately I’ve been feeling depleted
So there you have my reason
This is an excuse that is needed
