Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Okay, so I was wrong about
My reasons for us fallin' out
Of love, I want to fall back in
[Verse 2]
My life is different now, I swear
I know now what it means to care
About somebody other than myself
[Verse 3]
I know the things I said to you
They were untender and untrue
I'd like to see those things undo
[Verse 4]
So, if you could find it in your heart
To give a man a second start
I promise things won't end the same
[Verse 5]
Shame, boatloads of shame
Day after day, more of the same
Blame (Blame), please lift it off
Please take it off, please make it stop
[Verse 6]
Okay, so I have read the mail
And the stories people often tell
About us, that we never knew
[Verse 7]
But their existence will float away
And just like every word they say
And we will hold hands as they fade
[Verse 8]
Shame, boatloads of shame
Day after day, more of the same
Blame (Blame), please lift it off
Please take it off, please make it stop
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
Shame, boatloads of shame
Day after day, more of the same
Blame (Blame), please lift it off
Please take it off, please make it stop
[Verse 11]
And everyone, they have a heart
And when they break and fall apart
They need somebody's helpin' hand
[Verse 12]
I used to say, "Just let 'em fall"
It wouldn't bother me at all
I couldn't help then, now I can
