| Okay so I was wrong about
|
| My reasons for us fallin' out
|
| Of love I want to fall back in My life is different now I swear
|
| I know now what it means to care
|
| About somebody other than myself
|
| I know the things I said to you
|
| They were untender and untrue
|
| I’d like to see those things undo
|
| So if you could find it in your heart
|
| To give a man a second start
|
| I promise things won’t end the same
|
| Shame, boatloads of shame
|
| Day after day, more of the same
|
| Blame, please lift it off
|
| Please take it off, please make it stop
|
| Okay so I have read the mail
|
| The stories people often tell
|
| About us that we never knew
|
| But their existence will float away
|
| And just like every word they say
|
| And we will hold hands as they fade
|
| Shame, boatloads of shame
|
| Day after day, more of the same
|
| Blame, please lift it off
|
| Please take it off, please make it stop
|
| I felt so sure of everything
|
| My love to you so well received
|
| And I just strutted around your town
|
| Knowing I didn’t let you down
|
| The truth be known, the truth be told
|
| My heart was always fairly cold
|
| Posing to be as warm as yours
|
| My way of getting in your world
|
| But now I’m out and I’ve had time
|
| To look around and think
|
| And sink into another world
|
| That’s filled with guilt and overwhelming
|
| Shame, boatloads of shame
|
| Day after day, more of the same
|
| Blame, please lift it off
|
| Please take it off, please make it stop
|
| And everyone they have a heart
|
| And when they break and fall apart
|
| And need somebody’s helping hand
|
| I used to say just let 'em fall
|
| It wouldn’t bother me at all
|
| I couldn’t help them now I can |
