Shame Lyrics

...And maybe that's the beauty here

You'll always have your gypsy tears

That make you theirs at night

They give you a bed of roses

With thorn and a thoughtful pose

That makes falling feel like flying

That makes falling look like flying, come on

And I got a story that plays in my head

Like a bird and a stone in my hand

Its something to throw, or something to let go

Or set free or set up who I am

But I offer you only what I know of love

I confess what it is, I think I forgot

I tend to remember more about what love is not

[chorus]

Shame, Shame, Shame

Its not about you now, it's not about you now

You count the ways in which they gave

But it's more about why you love and less about how

Oh it's more about why you love and less about how

I like to tell folks, I'm from a rough neighborhood

As if that said something about me

But I ain't been in a fight since 1988

Barely 13

His name was Alex and from what I can tell

I can't recall him swinging too

But he'd still fight someone almost everyday

Just as sure as he would lose

Got a story that plays in my head

Like the bird and a stone in my hands

Simplified it all the cause and effect

Its too scary to say I just am, just am

But I offer you only what I know of love

I confess what it is I think I forgot

I tend to remember more about what love is not

(my gift remains it's still the same

Its ain't enough, but it's all I've got)

Chorus 2x
