I told my friends, I'm not coming in
'Cause there's a good chance I'll see you leaving with him
I keep my wits 'cause I hate to sin
But you'd be crying if you knew how I've been

Now I'm in this altered state of mind
I just don't know how to leave it behind
Got away with murder this time
And clearly you are doing just fine
This altered state of mind
I just don't know how to leave it behind

I told my friends I'm headed home
'Cause I just might lose my mind
And I can try and hold it in
And only hope there's an ounce of strength to find

Now I'm in this altered state of mind
I just don't know how to leave it behind
Got away with murder this time
And clearly you are doing just fine
