[Verse 1]

I can barely sleep

There's something on my mind

I'm lying in the dark

I'm searching hard to find

For the love that we shared

And the life I left behind

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes, yeah

[Verse 2]

I can scream and shout

But what's the point? It's done

Don't try before you learn

Fly too close to the sun

You're starting to lose faith

So hold on to your pride

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

What makes an angel fall in love?

What makes a good man turn and run?

How do you know if she's the one? Yeah

[Chorus]

I’ve made all the perfect alibis

And I've sugarcoated my disguise

But I can't cover this up with sweet goodbyes, no

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes

[Verse 3]

Locked up in her thoughts

We haven't spoke in days

She's saying that I've changed

Still stuck in her ways

I won't pick up the phone

I've said all there is to say

Gotta be strong because it's wrong for me to stay, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

What makes an angel fall in love? (In love)

What makes a good man turn and run? (And run)

How do you know if she's the one? Yeah

[Chorus]

I've made all the perfect alibis

And I've sugarcoated my disguise

But I can't cover this up with sweet goodbyes, no

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes

[Bridge]

Too many beautiful excuses

Tell me what the use is

Trying to find a way to come back home

How can we correct this if we're disconnected?

I don't know, I don't know

[Pre-Chorus]

What makes an angel fall in love?

What makes a good man turn and run?

How do you know if she's the one?

[Chorus]

I've made all the perfect alibis (Perfect alibis)

And I've sugarcoated my disguise (Yeah)

But I can't cover this up with sweet goodbyes, no (With only sweet goodbyes)

There's only beautiful excuses in my eyes (Yeah, oh)
