Third Day

It's a Shame Lyrics

I hate to be, to be the one

Who's given up

And feels that all our hope is gone

But what I thought was a miracle

Just turned into the same old

Problem that it was



She longs for better days

She's always been afraid



And it's a shame, oh, it's a shame

That you are throwing your whole life away

And it's a shame, oh, it's a shame

I wonder if you're ever goin' to change

Oh, it's a shame, yeah



Ever since I can recall

She has been so afraid

Of you losing it all

What do you want?

Do you even know?

And is it worth the pain

We all have to endure?



She longs for better days

She's always been afraid



It's a shame, oh, it's a shame

That you are throwing your whole life away

And it's a shame, oh, it's a shame

I wonder if you're ever going to change



You left her without leaving

You hit her without swinging

You took away without givin' a thing

Except for pain and sorrow

I'm prayin' that tomorrow

That you will open up your eyes and see



Well, it's a shame, oh, it's a shame

That you are throwing your whole life away

And it's a shame, oh, it's a shame

And I wonder if you're ever going to change



Oh, it's a shame

Oh, it's a shame

We will change

We will change
