[Intro]
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Always a reason for someone
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Always

[Verse]
Tip toe around the turncoat today
Yeah
Which mood is it gonna be today
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
This time you've done it, you hurt yourself good
Your best friend is gone and it's understood
All alone and no singing
And in true LA style your phone's stopped ringing

[Chorus]
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, there's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one
Oh-oh-oh, always
[Bridge]
Shut it down, get it right
'Cause a person can't win if they don't even put up a fight
Get it right
Everyone has got something that keeps them awake in the night
That's a fact
Don't think of the times that you gave up and let out some slack
Take it back
Don't think you're the only one going through it
Take it back

[Interlude]
There's always an excuse when you need one
There's always an excuse when you need one

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
There's always an excuse when you need one
Always an excuse when you need one
Always an excuse when you need one
Always an excuse when you need one
Always an excuse when you need one
Always, all, all
Always
