Shame Lyrics by Stabbing Westward

The Essential Stabbing Westward

1996

[Verse 1]
I only see myself reflected in your eyes
So all that I believe I am, essentially are lies
And everything I've hoped to be or ever thought I was
Died with your belief in me, so who the hell am I?
[Chorus]
I don't know if I am real without you
What is left of me without you?
I don't know what's real without you
How can I exist without you?
[Verse 2]
I'm wandering 'round confused, wondering why I try
The more that you deny my pain, the more it intensifies
I pray for someone to ache for me the way I ache for you
If you ignore that I'm alive, I've nothing to cling to
[Chorus]
I don't know if I am real without you
What is left of me without you?
I don't know what's real without you
How can I exist without you?
[Verse 3]
I stare into this mirror, so tired of this life
If only you would speak to me or cared if I'm alive
Once, I swore I would die for you, but I never meant like this
I never meant like this, no I never meant like this
[Chorus]
I don't know if I am real without you
What is left of me without you?
I don't know what's real without you
How can I exist without you?
How can I exist without you?
How can I exist without you?
