"Okay" (demo) from Excuses by courtlyn louise

it doesn't make it easier
that now and then I'm easier
I can't help myself

it's getting hard to break away
but I can't shake away the pain
I can't help myself

and people like you make it so much harder
and no, I don't mean in that way
I run away, hiding, and you find ways to
kick down my doors, always

getting home with you at night
I try and say that I'm alright
but I don't feel that way

you said a lot of things that night
that didn't make me feel alright
and that shit's not okay

and you think you're charming and sexy and sweet but
I'm here to tell you you're just a fucking creep
and maybe you'll finally get a woman when you learn
to listen to the things that she says
and believe her

I can't believe you fucking lied
you said you had an alibi
but now I feel misled

you can't just squeeze a neck so tight
hoping it'll go alright
and I don't miss your bed

and making excuses won't stop all the fuses from
burning right up in your face
and maybe next time you will listen when a woman says
she doesn't like it that way
and you'll just say, "okay"
