Dear Shame

You're oh so eager to toy with me

You're oh so eager to toy with me
Dear Shame
Dear Shame
I think I'm wise to your strategy
You're always stealing the joy in me
You've got me living like a bug
And I hear you wheezing in the hall
You're always stealing the joy in me
I'm needing mercy and you offer me blame
You love to whisper my name

You accuse and you blame
It's been a very long year
Dear Shame, Dear Shame
I won't be needing your company
Then you point and you spray
You're oh so eager to toy with me
Spreading gems and old news

Crave the light of forgiveness
You love to whisper my name

Dear Shame, Dear Shame
You're always stealing the joy in me
All my hidden secrets
I fled the light just to live in your shadow
I needed mercy and you offered me blame
Dear Shame
Crawling in fear
Dear Shame, Dear Shame
Dear Shame
You love to whisper my name
You bring it back on a tray

I think I'm flying away

You pull the shades
My name's eternally clear

I dream of growing some wings

You always love to confuse

I flee the light just to live in your shadow
