Proud of my Shame

Instead of an education
I wandered through the night
Insisted on your loving
Slept under office lights

I was - proud of my shame
I was proud - of my shame

Stumbling into the night
Shouting your name
All your friends they were right
Disgusted it's plain

How could I
Think it was right
To be in that state

If I had seen
Their eyes
I would have known
It was all too late

Instead of an education
I insisted on my love
As if sliding down the wall
Wasn't spectacle enough

I was - proud of my shame
I was proud - of my shame

Stumbling into the night
Shouting your name
All your friends they were right
Disgusted it's plain
