Staring you out and wearing you down   It's over now, we can talk about it.      The smile in my eyes is a simple disguise I have practised now.   Finding my way around the things that I've done.   Who I've become and oh, the shame.      I lie and I cheat and I've turned down my dreams because I was too afraid.   And I wish that somehow I could see now all the faces I've betrayed.      To women in skin - all of my love.   This isn't something I usually do or am proud of.   I don't pray enough.   I'm taking the blame and oh, the shame.      Oh, the shame.   Oh my God   And there it is, I said it.      It's just like wetting the bed   Or shaving my head   Oh, the shame.
