Shame on me

It's over, and I'm overwhelmed
I'm emptied out like a dusty shelf
You buried me, and I'm covered in shame
I'm here but you look right through me

Just hear me out for what it's worth
You still rip my breath away
I've come around
I know you've heard it before
And again and again

Shame on me, shame on me
It's bittersweet, but I'm so sorry
It took so long, but you believed
(I'm sorry it took so long)
Shame on me, shame on me
'Cause you're every question's answer
Shame on me

So clever, but I tripped somehow
I never guessed you could knock me down
I am, just a bit undone
Displaced and I'm burned like fire

Just hear me out for what it's worth
You still rip my breath away
I've come around
I know you've heard it before
And again and again

Shame on me, shame on me
It's bittersweet, but I'm so sorry
It took so long, but you believed
(I'm sorry it took so long.)
Shame on me, shame on me
'Cause you're every question's answer
Shame on me

I didn't get it, I never wanted to
My self-destructive attitude said
What did you want
And why would you want it at all?
But you never went away

You faded out, but it took so long
It's tainted, how could I let this
slip away, from me?
For a wandering jones
I'm back but you look right through me

Shame on me, shame on me
It's bittersweet, but I'm so sorry
It took so long, but you believed
(I'm sorry it took so long.)
Shame on me, shame on me
'Cause you're every question's answer
Shame on me
