What A Shame

[Chorus:]
You tore me down
I set you free
But now I'm praying on my knees
For you to find your way back home

And all this time
I thought you see
Just who you make me out to be
But the nightingales, they sing no more

[Verse:]
Where I go
I see you there
The smell of books
Stuck in the air
God, I've never felt
So alone

The sea of stars
Reminds me here
Of things so just
And so unfair
I should have walked
Right off this throne

[Pre-Chorus:]
If we had it all
There'd be no pain
If we had it all
There'd be no gain
What a shame
What a shame

If I gave my life
It'd be in vain
You made it clear
We're not the same
What a shame
What a shame

[Chorus:]
You tore me down
I set you free
But now I'm praying on my knees
For you to find your way back home

And all this time
I thought you see
Just who you make me out to be
But the nightingales, they sing no more

I closed my eyes
With silent plea
The things we said's not what we mean
But you might never find your way back home

And all this time
I thought you see
Just who you made me out to be
But the nightingales, they sing no more

[Pre-Chorus:]
If we had it all
There'd be no pain
If we had it all
There'd be no gain
What a shame
What a shame

If I gave my life
It'd be in vain
You made it clear
We're not the same
What a shame
What a shame
