Shame, by The Avett Brothers
Okay so I was wrong about
Our reasons for us falling out
Of love I want to fall back in
My life is different now, I swear,
I know now what it means to care
About somebody other than myself
I know the things I said to you
They were untender and untrue
I'd like to see those things undo
So if you could find it in your heart
To give a man a second start
I swear things won't end the same
Chorus:
Shame
Boatloads of Shame
Day after day
More of the same
Blame
Please lift it off
Please take it off
Please make it stop
Okay so I have read the mail
The stories people often tell
About us that we never knew
But their existence will float away
Just like every word they say
And we will hold hands while they fade
[chorus]
I felt so sure of everything
My love to you so well received
And I just strutted 'round your town
Knowing I didn't let you down
The truth be known, the truth be told
My heart was always fairly cold
Posing to be as warm as yours
My way of getting in your world
But now I'm out and I've had time
To look around and think
And sink into your world
That's filled with guilt and overwhelming
[Chorus]
And every one may have a heart
And when they break and fall apart
They need somebody's helping hand
I used to say "Just let 'em fall
It wouldn't bother me at all"
I couldn't help them
Now I can
