Love Was the Excuse - Deandre

Love was the excuse for us

When we both know that it was not enough

To camouflage what we’ve become

Love it’s just another word

Rarely meant but it is always heard

Don’t make it seem like we were the first to be in

Love, never knew what it meant to me

Nothing more than a figure a speech

A higher ground we could never reach

And this thing you call «us»

Escalated and it moved too fast

A shooting starlight doesn’t ever last

Never shines but only a flash

Love was the excuse for us

When we both know that it was not enough

To camouflage what we’ve become

Love it’s just another word

Rarely meant but it is always heard

Don’t make it seem like we were the first to be in

Love, the game I’d rather play alone

To find emotion that is felt not shown

That same sensation that we never known

So you see father time was never really on our side

Yes in the moment love will surely thrive

But when the moment’s gone you realize

You realize that

Love was the excuse for us

When we both know that it was not enough

To camouflage what we’ve become

Love it’s just another word

Rarely meant but it is always heard

Don’t make it seem like we were the first to be in

Dead bouquets, memories fade away

Butterflies lose their wings

I hear no more strings

Love was the excuse for us

When we both know that it was not enough

To camouflage what we be-be-be

Love it’s just another word

Rarely meant but it is always heard

Don’t make it seem like we were the first to be in

In love
