Save Your Excuses Lyrics

I wrote you thousands of chords,
but the more I confess,
the less you're impressed with me.
I'd leave you begging for more
if only you were listening.
And I'm freaking out gotta get, get over this now.
I've spent all my time
writing these heartfelt lines,
But they won't be heard.
I'm sick of writing songs that you don't even listen to.
This one goes out to me.
It's not about you.
I'm sick of writing songs that you don't even listen to.
This one goes out to me.
It's not about you.
So make sure this song's not on your mind when you're kissing me.
Are you missing me when I'm away for days?
Is this the song that plays?
Oh no, of course not.
Until now I've been finding excuses to not tell you how I feel,
but this is the last straw.
You've gone too far this time.
I know that I am the best thing you'll ever have.
If you don't start listening,
well you'll have to start looking.
So make sure this song's not on your mind when you're kissing me.
Are you missing me when I'm away for days?
Is this the song that plays?
Oh no, of course not.
Is this the song that's on your mind
So you can save your excuses, I've already heard it.
Your lipstick looks perfect,
wouldn't want you to ruin it by wasting your breath
as you're proving to me I mean half as much to you as you mean to me
So you can save your excuses,
I've already heard it. [repeat X2]
So make sure this song's not on your mind when you're kissing me.
Are you missing me when I'm away for days?
Is this the song that plays?
Oh no, of course not.
Is this the song that's on your mind when you're kissing me?
Are you missing me when I'm away for days?
Is this the song that plays?
