Only Reasons

[Verse 1]
The city lights went out, I never planned it
I thought the face of every looter was concealed
So I broke my neighbor's window like a bandit
And pretended hunger gave me cause to steal

[Verse 2]
There is no such thing as a perfect lover
A truly merciful friend is rare to find
We all cheat at least a little undercover
There is no blacker shadow-side than mine

[Chorus]
I am so sorry
For the tears I brought to your eyes
Sorry for the lies
I won't offer alibis
There are no innocent daughters
There are no innocent sons
No excuses
Only reasons

[Verse 3]
I don't believe you should forgive me for my treason
The man who hurt you was no stranger to myself
I won't offer bad excuses, just bad reasons
Like I was climbing Jacob's ladder up to hell

[Chorus]
I am so sorry
For the tears I brought to your eyes
Sorry for the lies
I won't offer alibis
There are no innocent daughters
There are no innocent sons
No excuses
Only reasons

[Chorus]
I am so sorry
For the tears I brought to your eyes
Sorry for the lies
I won't offer alibis
There are no innocent daughters
There are no innocent sons
No excuses
Only reasons
Just bad reasons
