you'll have to excuse me

by Michael Peterman

you'll have to excuse me
but these words disagree with me
and sometimes I swear
I can't feel a single one of em
other times I wonder
what have I got myself attached to?
until I remember
you don't have to be unhappy
if you never let them steal your smile
