	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song because I was a complete jerk to a girlfriend of mine and there was no excuse for it. I just couldn't say what needed to be said. Sound familiar? My face was giving everything away but I couldn't use the words. I wrote it in the studio in Toronto. I had a basic idea for the song and we recorded it. Then I wrote the words that night and sang it the next day. Pretty crazy. I am pretty proud of the rap, especially since I quote George Michael's "Careless Whisper" in it. Lyrics I've got the kind of face that hurts With every stupid stubbing toe Every broken bottle stare And every lucky nervous smile You see the answer in my mouth Or in the crinkle of my nose Well, the words don't come out but you can already tell I've got a bone to pick with you It's about the size of your head You can make me roll my eyes but I will not play dead And there's a rattle 'tween my ears But I don't hear a thing Oh, you know there's no excuse for me I've got the kind of face that hurts With every sloppy nosey blow Every twisting of my hair And every ninety minute mile You see the answer in my hands As I rock to and fro Oh, the words don't come out but you can already tell That I've shaded the truth And left you out on the porch And turned all the lights off When you knocked on the door Now you're moving from house to house With a pad and a pen Oh, I know you're learning something But you already know You know there's no excuse for me I never told you abotu my riverboat fantasy Where I play Kenny Rogers and you play Dolly Gambling anything the hosue wins everything I'm passed out on the floor while you're packing I should've know better than to cheat a friend and waste this chance that I've been given I never know when to hold 'em, fold 'em, Or run away like a fool You already know You know there's no excuse for me I've got the kind of face that hurts
