I've been plagued by your excuses before.
I've been run through so many times,
with hands that don't like to hold much when they can.
I've been in this battle before,
bore the weapon and aimed my shot
and I never asked you for anything.
I have never
asked you to do anything for me.
So why should I be curved with disappointment
when my one request turns up empty?
I've been plagued by your excuses before.
There was no shock in the delivery.

I get to be disappointed,
but you don't get to feel sorry for me.

There's too much grace in the right to feel bad
in only ever hurting somebody,
and you don't even deserve that.

I've been plagued by your excuses before.
I never asked you for anything.
You've never been there, you never will be.
I get to be disappointed
but you don't get to feel sorry for me.
