Album “Tango on a Wild & Rough Terrain”: 3. Keep Your Excuses (I Know More Than You Think I Know) (Lyrics)

Lyrics by Petra Deeter

[Verse 1]

Loved you too much, tolerated for so long,

Then you crossed the line, the unforgivable wrong.

All I needed to hear was a heartfelt, sincere plea,

But you gave me nothing, just left me to bleed.

[Chorus]

You’re not man enough,

But that’s okay.

Keep your excuses,

You don’t know this…

But I know more than you think I know.

[Verse 2]

You deny, you distract, shift blame to accuse,

Excuses you make, my heart you abuse.

No honesty, no empathy in sight,

Your toxic love, a relentless night.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Faced the truth I didn’t want to see,

Nothing left after your cruelty.

No sincere apology, just a charade,

Your love, a facade, a masquerade.

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]

Do you think I haven’t seen the videos, the lies?

Yes, she was at the angle that I know you like.

Screenshots, emails, deceit in your eyes,

Heard the recordings, the conversations you hide.

I’m done with you, it’s fruitless to try,

Talking to someone who lives in a lie.

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]

My foolish heart, blind to your deceit,

I clung to hope, a bitter sweet.

But now I see, your love’s a lie,

A shattered dream, a painful cry.

No longer bound by your cruel game,

I’ll break these chains, reclaim my name.

[Chorus]
