Only Reasons - The Choir

The city lights went out, I never planned it

I thought the face of every looter was concealed

So I broke my neighbor’s window like a bandit

And pretended hunger gave me cause to steal

There is no such thing as a perfect lover

A truly merciful friend is rare to find

We all cheat at least a little undercover

There is no blacker shadow-side than mine

I am so sorry

For the tears I brought to your eyes

Sorry for the lies

I won’t offer alibis

There are no innocent daughters

There are no innocent sons

No excuses

Only reasons

I don’t believe you should forgive me for my treason

The man who hurt you was no stranger to myself

I won’t offer bad excuses, just bad reasons

Like I was climbing Jacob’s ladder up to hell

I am so sorry

For the tears I brought to your eyes

Sorry for the lies

I won’t offer alibis

There are no innocent daughters

There are no innocent sons

No excuses

Only reasons

I am so sorry

For the tears I brought to your eyes

Sorry for the lies

I won’t offer alibis

There are no innocent daughters

There are no innocent sons

No excuses

Only reasons

Just bad reasons
