By Myself

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

What we learned here is love tastes bitter when it's gone

Past yourself forget the light, things look dirty when it's on

Funny how it comes to pass, that all the good slips away

And there's no one around you can remember being good to you

(chorus 1)

Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you

And open up more

Shame, shame, shame

What we lost here is something better left alone

Second steps have been forgotten, will you tell me how they go

Set yourself, situate, like a fool try again

There's no one around you can remember being good, for you so

(chorus 2)

Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you

And open up more

Shame, shame, shame

Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you

And open up more

Shame, shame, shame

We never thought we'd get so troubled

We could never think that much

It should never get this mad

So let the wind blow ya, across a big floor

But there's no one around who can tell us what we're here for

Funny in a certain light, how we all look the same

And there's no one in life you can remember ever stood, for you, so
