Shame

Everybody needs to love
Everybody plays the fools
Don't you know it needs to stop
It's gonna backfire on you
I wanna scream and cry out
Oh, you're the limit
Remember you stole my heart and broke it
Wanna cry out, dare to deny it
I'm not gonna play your game
Shame, I won't waste another minute
Shame, 'cause your heart's not in it
Shame, you've nowhere left to hide
Shame, now you've gone and done it
Shame, you're guilty and you know it
Shame, for all the tears I've cried
Somebody can write it on the wall
Nobody can pull me down
Put you on a pedestal
Realise it's much too late
I wanna scream and cry out
Oh, you're the limit
Remember you stole my heart and broke it
Wanna cry out, dare to deny it
I'm not gonna play your game
Shame, I won't waste another minute
Shame, 'cause your heart's not in it
Shame, for all the times we tried
Shame, now you've gone and done it
Shame, guilty and you know it
Shame, for all the tears I've cried
I know what you're thinking
I know what you say
But this time it's over
You've thrown it away
Shame, I won't waste another minute
Shame, 'cause your heart's not in it
Shame, you've nowhere left to hide
Shame, now you've gone and done it
Shame, guilty and you know it
Shame, for all the times we tried
Shame, I won't waste another minute
Shame, 'cause your heart's not in it
