Shame Lyrics by Beth McCarthy

Self Portrait

2018

[Verse 1]
Touch me, I breathe
Almost believe that
I'm the only one
I’m the only one
It feels real to me
But I know
I'm the only one
I'm the only one falling
[Pre-Chorus]
Falling for you
Time after time
I should know better
But I keep on letting you let me down, down, down
It’s a shame that your heart don't want me the way that your hands do
A shame that your eyes won't love me the way that your arms do
[Chorus]
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
Your shame
[Verse 2]
You call, I come
Just say the word and I'll run to you
You’re the only one
You’re the only one who can
Make me do all the things that I shouldn't do
Making deals with the devil in hell for you
You’re the only one
And I keep on falling
[Pre-Chorus]
Falling for you
Time after time
I should know better
But I keep on letting you let me down, down, down
It's a shame that your heart don't want me the way that your hands do
A shame that your eyes won't love me the way that your arms do
[Chorus]
It’s a shame
It's a shame
Your shame
[Bridge]
I should know better but
I should know better
I should know better but
I should know
[Outro]
It's a shame
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's a shame
(I should know, I should know better, I should know better, ooh)
It's a shame
(Shame, mhm-mhm)
It's a shame
(No, no, no)
Your shame
