It Wasn'T Me
Why do we make excuses
For the times we get it wrong
Why can't we say I made a mistake
Then from that point move on
Is it that we all have swallowed
The poison pill of pride
Where we need to list our accomplishments
No matter how dark the lie
When did the pretending of perfection
Become the sea that we swim in
When did life's learning lessons
Get buried too deep to dig
When you make a mistake don't make your way
To the side of do no wrong
Tell the truth in all you do
And don't drag the excuses along
