I might crash, might hit the ground
I may face failure and disappointment
But on my way down
During the difficult times, I'll reflect
I'll be thinking about the lies
I'll ponder the deception and betrayal
And how you could have warned me
You had the power to alert me
How your friends all knew
The individuals close to you were aware
How they stuck up for you
They supported you in your wrongdoing
And now they don't seem to know me
Those same individuals now disregard me
Because shame, shame, shame
Their actions evoked shame
Shame, shame, shame
Their wrongdoing brought shame
Spreads like fire on a bunch of autumn leaves
The shame spread quickly and uncontrollably
True, true, true
Undoubtedly true
True, true, true
Unquestionably true
The truth isn't always so lovely
The reality can be harsh and unpleasant
When she found you, you were true
When she discovered you, you were faithful
But her beauty, it beckoned you
However, her appearance enticed you
Your lips spread lies that hit just like
Your words caused pain and hurt
Arrows pointed straight to my heart
Your deception directly affected me
You could have left and moved away
You had the option to depart and escape the situation
You just choose to stay
Instead, you decided to remain
And you will never see the way
You will never comprehend the extent of your actions
You could have saved me
You had the capacity to protect me
All these tears and wasted years
So many tears shed and time wasted
And long lonely nights
Countless nights filled with loneliness
I'll never find a place to hide
I'll never find refuge or solace
I might crash, might hit the ground
I may still have moments of failure and disappointment
Sleep 'till noon, sleep 'till June
Even then, I may struggle with sleep
Or until the middle of September
The difficulty may persist for an extended time
Those arrows sting
The pain and hurt caused by your actions remain
I'll be good by spring
Eventually, I'll heal and recover
Hide the shame, place the blame
Instead of dealing with shame, deflect and blame others
You're the one
But ultimately, you are responsible
