No Excuse
Nilsen Kurt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been trying to prove you wrong
But now it's getting old
I've made some blunders, I've made a few
I'm full of regrets
There's no excuse for what I've done
There's no excuse for what I've done
Can you forget about it and move on
Open up and let me in, I'm begging you
I know I've done some big mistakes
But don't shove me out
I cannot turn back time and even if I could
There's no excuse for what I've done
There's no excuse for what I've done
There's no excuse for what went wrong
Can you forget about it and move on
Can you forget about it and move on
I know it cuts like a knife
The pain that I've done to you
There is no telling of what's to come
But I want to see this through
If I could take it away, you know I would
There's no excuse for what I've done
There's no excuse for what I've done
There's no excuse for what went wrong
Can you forget about it and move on
Can you forget about it and stay strong
