Oh the Shame

Staring you out
And wearing you down
Yeah, it's over now
We can talk about it
The smile in my eyes
Is a simple disguise
I have practised now
Finding my way around
The things that I've done
And who I've become
And, oh the shame

I lie and I cheat
And I've turned down my dreams
Because I was too afraid
I wish that somehow
I could see now
All the faces I've betrayed
To women in skin
Yeah, all of my love
Oh, this isn't something I usually do
Or am proud of
I don't pray enough
I'm taking the blame
And oh the shame
Oh, the shame
Oh my god

There it is
There it is
There it is
I said it
Yeah

It's just like wetting the bed
Or shaving my head
And oh, the shame
