Lyrics
Verse 1 – Laid-back, cool delivery
You said you were busy, I gave you space,
But every night you’re ghostin’ in the same place.
No text, no call – just your silence talkin’,
I’m done with the waitin’ and late-night walk-ins.
Pre-Chorus – Harmonies build tension
Boy, I know the game,
And I ain’t here for shame.
If you wanted love,
You wouldn’t treat it this way.
Chorus – Punchy, rhythmic with layered vocals & ad-libs
No excuse – I’ve heard ‘em all before,
You talk in circles, but I’m out the door.
No more lies dressed up as truth,
If you were real, you’d never need a proof.
No excuse – I know what I’m worth,
Won’t be second to your comfort first.
Say what you want, but I see through –
I don’t need love with a lame excuse.
Verse 2 – More attitude, smooth rhythm
You act so cool like I’m hard to please,
But you ain’t moved right since the early tease.
You wanna flex, but you fold in heat –
You can’t love strong if you’re feelin’ weak.
Pre-Chorus – Slight lyrical change
Tired of pretend,
This loop’s gotta end.
If I gotta ask,
Then you ain’t that man.
Chorus – Repeat with vocal ad-libs and slight dynamics
No excuse – I’ve heard ‘em all before,
You talk in circles, but I’m out the door.
No more lies dressed up as truth,
If you were real, you’d never need a proof.
No excuse – I know what I’m worth,
Won’t be second to your comfort first.
Say what you want, but I see through –
I don’t need love with a lame excuse.
Bridge – Spoken or slow harmonized breakdown
I gave chances, not ultimatums.
But real ones show up, they don’t just claim 'em.
So keep your "sorry", I’m done with that –
I move with peace, not a heart held back.
Final Chorus – Slower, groove-focused, layered call-response
No excuse – save your breath tonight,
I need love that moves in truth and light.
No excuse – no more second guessin’,
I’m not your maybe, I’m the lesson.
Outro – Whisper/harmonized fade
No excuse... no excuse... I’m gone.
