Shame

The ghost of a pain

How could you let me down

And leave me the blame?

It still hurts

Like it always did

When I was a kid

Cost

I took a loss

I was made an example of

By the long arm of the law

And it still hurts

Like it always did

When I was a kid

All my energy

And hope fell out of me

The loss of innocence

You said you hope

I find happiness

When I came to you for help

Does it haunt you somehow?

Well it hurts like it always did

When I was a kid

Shame

A brutal refrain

How could you let me down?

I was never the same

And it still hurts

Like it always did

When I was a kid

When I was a kid
