Shame

i warned you

two or three times

said i don't wanna hurt you

just read between my lines

 

you didn't want to listen

or hear what i was saying

my heart you tried to win

but i knew that you weren't staying

 

why did you pursue

no future with me clear

this i made sure you knew

 now you doth shed a tear

 

i only wanted to be a friend

but you wanted benefits

has it come now to the end

next time i'll keep my wits

 

are you alone and crying

as i remain the same

you can't hear me sighing

when you call my name

 

i told you at the start

that i would cause you pain

inside me there's a part

that's full of guilt and shame.
