Shame Songtext
von Brian Webb

Maybe that′s the beauty here
But you'll always have your gypsy tears
That make you theirs at night
To give you a bed of roses
A thorn and a thoughtful pose
That makes falling feel like flying
That makes falling look like flying

I got a story that plays in my head
Like a bird and a stone in my hand
Something to throw and something to let go
A set free, a 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


Shame, shame, shame
It′s not about you now
It's not about you now
You count the ways and waste the game
It's more about why you love
Less about how

Yeah, it′s more about why you love
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
When I was barely thirteen
His name was Alex and from what I can tell
I can′t recall him swinging too
But he'd still fight someone almost every day
But I′m just as sure as he would lose

I got a story that plays in my head
Like a bird and a stone in my hand
Simplified it all to cause and effect
It's too scary to say I just then

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 for me is still the same
It ain′t enough, man
It's all I got
Shame, shame, shame
It's not about you now
It′s not about you now
You count the ways and waste the game
It′s more about why you love
Less about how

Shame, shame, shame
It's not about you now

Not about you now
You count the ways and waste the game
It′s more about why you love
Less about how

Oh, it's more about why you love
Less about how

Yeah, shame, shame, shame, shame
It ain′t about you now
You now
