Shame on Me

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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)

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
