Shame’s a funny thing

It’ll drag me down

Make me wanna drink

Change what I believe

Til I can’t remember who I was or who I wanna be

I start to think

About you and I

And all the things we tried

And what you didn’t bring

But that doesn’t change the woman I became But what I couldn’t see

I can’t teach someone to love me I can’t make them be their best

I can’t wash away their problems All I can do is confess

That you made me better for the next And feel shame less

Did you ever dream

That by thirty you’d be on your own

And I’m a memory

But you don’t even have the time to stop and miss me And now I truly See

I can’t teach someone to love me I can’t make them be their best

I can’t wash away their problems All I can do is confess

That you made me better for the next And feel shame less

Shame less for the night I left

How hard I tried to make it through Shame less for choosing me

And wanting something new

I can’t teach someone to love me I can’t make them be their best

I can’t wash away their problems All I can do is confess

That you made me better for the next Yeah, you made me wanna be my best And feel shame less
