Shame lyrics

...And maybe that s the beauty here
You ll always have your gypsy tears
That make you theirs at night
They give you a bed of roses
With thorn and a thoughtful pose
That makes falling feel like flying
That makes falling look like flying, come on
And I got a story that plays in my head
Like a bird and a stone in my hand
Its something to throw, or something to let go
Or set free or set up who I am
But I offer you only what I know of love
I confess what it is, I think I forgot
I tend to remember more about what love is not
[chorus]
Shame, Shame, Shame
Its not about you now, it s not about you now
You count the ways in which they gave
But it s more about why you love and less about how
Oh it s more about why you love and less about how
I like to tell folks, I m from a rough neighborhood
As if that said something about me
But I ain t been in a fight since 1988
Barely 13
His name was Alex and from what I can tell
I can t recall him swinging too
But he d still fight someone almost everyday
Just as sure as he would lose
Got a story that plays in my head
Like the bird and a stone in my hands
Simplified it all the cause and effect
Its too scary to say I just am, just am
But I offer you only what I know of love
I confess what it is I think I forgot
I tend to remember more about what love is not
(my gift remains it s still the same
Its ain t enough, but it s all I ve got)
Chorus 2x
