Shame

Driving my car,
Didn't get far,
Stopped to cry.
Man on the street asked me so sweet...
Are you alright?
No, I'm okay,
Seemed to've misplaced my life.
And this a shame, shame
Please don't ask me why.
And it's a shame, shame
Shame that makes me cry.
Sitting alone, ashtray is full of my fears.
Losing my roll is losing control of what I've got to hide
More I hold my breath, the lighter that it gets.
It never seems to rest.
And this a shame, shame
Please don't ask me why.
And it's a shame, shame
Shame that makes me cry.
And its shame, such a shame
We had to say goodbye
And it's shame, shame
Shame that makes me cry
Driving my car,
Didn't get far...
