New Low

I have not told you the truth
I have not done what I’ve said
In 24 hours I’m both appalled and amused
That I’ve found time to roll around in both of your beds
It’s a new low for me
It’s a harsh blow
To my self-righteous sense of honesty

I have not moved on from you
I have not done what I’d vowed
The trust between us is so sorely abused
But still, I’m too addicted to you to be proud
It’s a new low for me
But I believed once
That you were my destiny

Chorus:
And that’s my excuse
For this atypical behavior
That’s my excuse
Now that I’ve fallen out of your favor
And you can’t see a girl but that you crave her
That’s my excuse

I have not done this before
Playing both ends against the middle
And I can’t believe I told you that I was your ****
I can’t believe I priced myself at so little
It’s a new low for me
Now I humbly wear
The scarlet badge of my ignominy

Chorus

How does it feel to be the one who’s spurned?
You say you’re sorry but you have not learned
Karma’s a **** and here is what you’ve earned
When I go home with him does your
Stomach, your stomach turn?
Does your rage burn?

And that’s my excuse
For this atypical behavior
That’s my excuse
Now that I’ve fallen out of your favor
And you can’t see a girl but that you crave her
No you can’t see a girl but that you crave her
And you can’t love a girl but that you hate her
That’s my excuse
