Everett James - New Thing

You wonder why I'm leaving
You say you don't know the reason
It's only the hurt you're keeping

You don't know why
Saying this is the first and the last time
Now do you think I am a punch line?
No, I know about all of the signs

Like the time you slipped out of the door
To the blacktop, hot-spot wanting more
Or the time you waved to me goodbye
So you could say hello to another guy
And you tell me that you're gonna change
A little token "give me one more day"
But I've had enough of this game of forgiveness

Oh, this ain't a new thing
Well, you lie all the time
Yeah, this ain't a new thing
You're just bringing on back your ways
Yeah, this ain't a new thing
No I wasn't born yesterday
Yeah, this ain't a new thing

I can't believe you're trying
To find out why I'm flying
You say that without me, you're dying

We both know that ain't true
Now I think that I finally get you
You think every time it'll be new
And I'll forget everything you do

Like the time you went out for the night
Onto someone who could "treat you right"
Or the time you said you were alone
But I heard a voice still on the phone
And you tell me that it doesn't mean
That you've got any less love for me
But I've made my mind, and it's not making nice now

Oh, this ain't a new thing
Well, you lie all the time
Yeah, this ain't a new thing
You're just bringing on back your ways
Yeah, this ain't a new thing
No I wasn't born yesterday
Yeah, this ain't a new thing

Oh, you let me run right through your hands like sand
And tried to catch me with your feet
Why don't you tell your fans this man
Ain't reaching our for something he can't see, yeah

Oh, this ain't a new thing
Well, you lie all the time
Yeah, this ain't a new thing
You're just bringing on back your ways
Yeah, this ain't a new thing
No I wasn't born yesterday
Yeah, this ain't a new thing

Oh, this ain't a new thing
Well, you lie all the time
Yeah, this ain't a new thing
You're just bringing on back your ways
Yeah, this ain't a new thing
No I wasn't born yesterday
Yeah, this ain't a new thing
Not a new thing, not a new thing, not a new thing

Oh, this ain't a new thing
This ain't a new thing
