Shame on Me

You make me feel like a shell

Piece of myself

Blood in my mouth, always biting my tongue

Secrets I held

Silenced myself

Wish I could scream at the top of my lungs

Talking in my sleep

Hiding in my dreams

Hoping they don't find me out

Lying through my teeth

Trying to believe

All their words just let me down

Call me a mistake

Ain't a choice to make

Crying here on sacred ground

So damn naive

Down on my knees

Praying to be just like everyone else

So shame on me

For being so weak

Thinking I could hide the truth from myself

Falling from grace

Losing my faith

Opened my eyes, now I finally see

So shame on me, yeah

So shame on me

Always afraid to let go

Losing control

Swallow my pain while I choke on my pride

Standing alone

Searching for hope

Digging a hole 'til I bury these lies

Talking in my sleep

Hiding in my dreams

Hoping they don't find me out

Lying through my teeth

Trying to believe

All their words just let me down

Call me a mistake

Ain't a choice to make

Crying here on sacred ground

So damn naive

Down on my knees

Praying to be just like everyone else

So shame on me

For being so weak

Thinking I could hide the truth from myself

Falling from grace

Losing my faith

Opened my eyes, now I finally see

So shame on me, yeah

So shame on me

So shame on me

Shame on me (Ooh)

I used to beg for mercy (Mercy)

Used to think my love was sin, yeah

Now I found strength in new beginnings (Beginnings)

And a chance to start again

So damn naive

Down on my knees

Praying to be just like everyone else

So shame on me

For being so weak

Thinking I could hide the truth from myself

Falling from grace

Losing my faith

Opened my eyes, now I finally see

So shame on me, yeah

So shame on me

So shame on me

Shame on me

So shame on me

So shame on me
