Shame on Me

You make me feel like a shell
Piece of myself
Blood in my mouth, always biting my tongue
Secrets I held
Silenced myself
Wish I could scream at the top of my lungs
Talking in my sleep
Hiding in my dreams
Hoping they don't find me out
Lying through my teeth
Trying to believe
All their words just let me down
Call me a mistake
Ain't a choice to make
Crying here on sacred ground
So damn naive
Down on my knees
Praying to be just like everyone else
So shame on me
For being so weak
Thinking I could hide the truth from myself
Falling from grace
Losing my faith
Opened my eyes, now I finally see
So shame on me, yeah
So shame on me
Always afraid to let go
Losing control
Swallow my pain while I choke on my pride
Standing alone
Searching for hope
Digging a hole 'til I bury these lies
Talking in my sleep
Hiding in my dreams
Hoping they don't find me out
Lying through my teeth
Trying to believe
All their words just let me down
Call me a mistake
Ain't a choice to make
Crying here on sacred ground
So damn naive
Down on my knees
Praying to be just like everyone else
So shame on me
For being so weak
Thinking I could hide the truth from myself
Falling from grace
Losing my faith
Opened my eyes, now I finally see
So shame on me, yeah
So shame on me
So shame on me
Shame on me (Ooh)
I used to beg for mercy (Mercy)
Used to think my love was sin, yeah
Now I found strength in new beginnings (Beginnings)
And a chance to start again
So damn naive
Down on my knees
Praying to be just like everyone else
So shame on me
For being so weak
Thinking I could hide the truth from myself
Falling from grace
Losing my faith
Opened my eyes, now I finally see
So shame on me, yeah
So shame on me
So shame on me
Shame on me
So shame on me
So shame on me
