Excuse Me

Lyrics

I’m staring at the ceiling where the shadows used to dance
Before you killed the magic, before you killed the romance
I let you in my sanctuary, gave you every key
Never thought I’d smell another man inside the sheets
The walls are closing in, I can’t even breathe in here
Every corner of this house is stained with a different fear
You brought him to the place where we used to pray and sleep
The secrets that you sowed are the ones I have to reap
And it’s cold, yeah, it’s freezing in the home we built for two
Now I’m scrubbing out the scent of him and the ghost of you
I gave you my protection, I gave you my whole life
But you traded in the crown just to be a temporary wife
It’s a heavy kind of silence, the kind that breaks your bones
I’m a king without a kingdom, sitting on a broken throne
I really thought you were the one, the only one I’d choose
Now I’m just another loser with nothing left to lose.
(Chorus)
Please excuse me (please excuse me), ain't tryin' be rude (ain't tryin' to be rude)
But the way you’re playing me, bitch, it ain't cute (bitch, it ain't cute)
You can’t fuck with him and fuck with me too (fuck with me too)
I guess I’m a fool in love with a fool.
(Verse 2)
You look me in the eyes and you tell me that you’re pure
While I’m dying from a poison that doesn’t have a cure
How you gonna have him over, eating off my plates?
Opening my doors while you’re locking up the gates
To the heart I thought I owned, to the soul I thought I knew
Now I’m looking at a stranger when I’m looking at you
In my book, you’re just a bitch, yeah, the words are etched in red
For the disrespect you showed when you shared our holy bed
I’m calculating pain while I’m staring at the wall
Watching every single memory start to flicker and fall
You played the victim role like you deserved a damn award
While I was out here fighting, falling on my own sword
The math is looking ugly, the logic’s sounding cruel
Two plus two equals two black eyes for this fool
One for seeing what you did, one for staying way too long
Now I’m bleeding out the lyrics to this heartbroken song.
(Chorus)
Please excuse me (please excuse me), ain't tryin' be rude (ain't tryin' to be rude)
But the way you’re playing me, bitch, it ain't cute (bitch, it ain't cute)
You can’t fuck with him and fuck with me too (fuck with me too)
I guess I’m a fool in love with a fool.
(Verse 3)
I’m packing up the pictures, but I can’t unpack the grief
You’re nothing but a liar and a common heart-thief
You took the best of me and threw it in the trash
Now I’m standing in the kitchen, siftin' through the ash
Of the life we supposed to have, of the kids we never got
I’m tied up in the middle of this dirty, tangled knot
How could you be so heartless? How could you be so cold?
To let a stranger in the house, to let the truth unfold
In the most disgusting way, right beneath my very nose
I’m watching how the fire dies and how the water froze
I hope he gives you everything that I couldn’t provide
I hope you find some comfort in the way you fucking lied
'Cause when the lights go out and you’re lying in the dark
You’ll realize you’re the one who extinguished every spark
I’m walking out the door and I’m never looking back
Leaving all my shattered pieces on this lonely, empty track.
(Chorus)
Please excuse me (please excuse me), ain't tryin' be rude (ain't tryin' to be rude)
But the way you’re playing me, bitch, it ain't cute (bitch, it ain't cute)
You can’t fuck with him and fuck with me too (fuck with me too)
I guess I’m a fool in love with a fool.
(Outro)
Two plus two equals two black eyes...
I see it all now.
You’re just a bitch in my book.
And I’m the fool...
Yeah, I’m the fool.
