Shame
Taylor Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't I always tell you we'd end up this way?
Well I know that I said this is it, but now you're gone
Got a feeling I'm right back where I started from
[Chorus]
Baby you're the one to blame
And I thought I made you happy
Oh, shame
In the morning sweet as candy
But I know you well
Well I no longer care what you're angry with me for
But the harder that you push, you'll lose my love for sure
Girl you know it's so hard trying to keep up with you
But to leave you has just 'bout broke my heart in two
Baby you're the one to blame
And I thought I made you happy
But I could never tell
Oh, shame
In the morning sweet as candy
But I know you well
Shame
Just can't seem to get over
Here I go again now baby
And I thought I'd make it through without you
Many times I tried to leave
Girl I got a heart so heavy
Telling everybody all about you
You must be laughin' up your sleeve
Baby you're the one to blame
And I thought I made you happy
But I could never tell
Oh, shame
In the morning sweet as candy
But I know you well
Shame
Just can't seem to get over
