Shame

What we learned here is that love tastes bitter when it's gone
Past yourself, forget the light, things look dirty when it's on
Funny how it comes to pass that all the good slips away
and there's no one around you can remember being good to you

Shame, shouldn't try you,
couldn't step by you,
and open up more shame
shame, shame

what we lost here is something better left alone
second steps have been forgotten
will you tell me how they go?
set yourself, situate, like a fool try again,
there's no one around you can remember being good for you

shame, shouldn't try you
couldn't step by you
and open up more shame
shame, shame (2x)

We never thought we'd get so troubled
(never get this bad)
and we could never think that much
(never get this bad)
and we should never get this bad

so let the wind blow ya'
across the big floor
but there's no one around who can tell us what we're here for
but funny in a certain light how we all look the same
and there's no one in life you can remember ever stood for you

shame, shouldn't try you
couldn't step by you
and open up more shame
shame shame...
