Shame On Me

I used you for my own comfort
I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings by my worthless words
I used to be an adventurous boy
I wiped the grime from my feet
And I felt that, lately, I’ve been feeling rather down
Shame on me for leaving you…
Shame on me…I want to go to the beach
Don’t play games with me…I want to go shopping
Dried up and having my heart go on fire…
Release me…lick me with Your love
Afraid to lose control again
Shame on me…I want to go to the beach
Don’t play games with me…I want to go shopping
Dried up and having my heart go on fire…
Release me…lick me with Your love
Afraid to lose control again
I used to be innocent
I’m sorry if I burnt your hope…and sent you bad luck
I used to be a lonely boy, but now I’m not alone
I erased the filth from my mind
Shame on me…I want to go to the beach
Don’t play games with me…I want to go shopping
Dried up and having my heart go on fire…
Release me…lick me with Your love
Afraid to lose control again
And I felt that, honestly, I’ve been rolling down the hill
Shame on me for leaving you… 
Shame on you for dumping me in the trash
Shame on me for saying words of garbage
Shame on me…I want to go to the beach
Don’t play games with me…I want to go shopping
Dried up and having my heart go on fire…
Release me…lick me with Your love
Afraid to lose control once more
