Save Your Excuses

Reddit Man

[Verse]
I walk the edge of a yawning void
Only Nijinsky dares to hold my hand
You fell asleep upon the stairs
And woke with a crushed orange in your palm

You said you speak with those long gone
That their answers cut deeper than mine
Their silence wrapped in solemn grace
Outshining my faltering lines

[Pre-Chorus]
You said I wasn’t good for her –
But what the hell do you, do you know of that
Everyone who’s scared
Just bends their story to fit the facts

[Chorus]
You always told me who I was
Never cared to really know
Over and over – your damn questions
Till I gave the answer you came for

Over and over – the same demands
I wish I'd walked away back then

[Verse]
You stole the most precious thing we had
Refused to share what never was yours alone
Even knowing they'd break apart
If we didn’t leave them the peace they deserved

Just a fair chance to grow, to heal
To feel the love they were worthy of
But you chose to repeat your hell instead
The childhood you blamed for everything

[Pre-Chorus]
You said I wasn’t good for her –
But what the hell do you know of that?
Everyone who’s scared
Just bends their story to fit the facts

[Chorus]
I wish I’d fought, told you off long ago
You never thanked the fear we showed
We bent, we broke from every word
This pain was never what we owed

[Outro]
I miss my daughter every single day
But a heart turned cold took her away
Nijinsky said – cold is where death begins
And warmth was something they'd never let in

This is Us

[Intro]
It started with a sharp pinch
your eyes—mine
soft chaos in the quiet

[Verse 1]
You looked unimpressed
my heart mistook the signs
fingers almost touched
but the silence broke first

You smiled like thunder
before the rain fell
I staggered toward you
like I swore I wouldn’t do

[Chorus]
This is us
a wildfire kiss
crashing waves and clenched fists
we don't play nice
we burn we twist
falling hard
but never miss
we're not soft
we're stunning in the break

[Verse 2]
Your voice left bruises
in the shape of a broken home
our love's a tornado
in a glass spine

We are wolf and crow
drawn to cliffs and chaos
even the crash feels holy
when it’s you and me babe

[Bridge]
Scars like teeth marks
excuses like echoes
we don’t land soft
we collide like gods
forgetting we can bleed

[Final Chorus]
This is us
not perfect not tame
but brilliant
in our undertaking
we break to rebuild
we fall just to feel
this love
raw and overrated

[Outro]
You should let go
you should let go

This is Us
