Song lyrics

What we learned here

Is love tastes bitter when it's gone

Past yourself, forget the light

Things look dirty when it's on

Funny how it comes to pass

That all the good slips away

And there's no one around

You can remember being good to you


Shame

Shouldn't try you

Couldn't step by you

And open up more shame

Shame, shame


What we lost here

Is something better left alone

Second steps have been forgotten

Will you tell me how they go?

Set yourself, situate

Like a fool, try again

There's no one around

You can remember being good for you


So, shame

Shouldn't try you

Couldn't step by you

And open up more shame

Shame, shame, yeah

Ah, shame

Shouldn't try you

Couldn't step by you

And open up more shame

Shame, shame


We never thought we'd get so troubled

(Never get this, never get this bad)

We could never think that much

(Never get this, never get this bad)

And it should never get this bad


So, let the wind blow ya

Across the big floor

But there's no one around

Who can tell us what we're here for

But, funny, in a certain light

How we all look the same

And there's no one in life

You can remember ever stood for you


So, shame

Shouldn't try you

Couldn't step by you

And open up more shame

Shame, shame

Shame

Shouldn't try you

Couldn't step by you

And open up more shame

Shame, shame, oh
