It's a Shame

Lately I've been thinking 'bout the past

How there is no holding back

No point in wasting sorrow

On things that won't be here tomorrow

But you and I, well, we don't need to speak

It's the secret that we keep

How did you and I decide

Just say when and we'll say goodnight

Tell me it's okay to live  a life this way

Sometimes I want you to stay

I know it's a shame

Shame, shame

I spend so much of my time

Going out of my mind

Tried so hard to be amused

But what you cannot gain you lose

In L.A., the sun's almost too bright

I cannot get it right, the emptiness I feel

And now none of it seems real

Baby, it's alright

Could you spend the night?

Sometimes I just can't bear to walk away

I know it's a shame

Shame, shame

Who have I become?

Who will I become tomorrow?

Tell me it's okay if I ask you to stay

Sometimes the night cuts through me like a knife

I know it's a shame

I know it's a shame

I know it's a shame

Shame, shame, shame
