What a Shame

Did you think it wouldn't show

You're here with me, but I'm so alone

And now this house don't feel like home

I can't believe how much we've grown

So far apart, so far away

You just can't hide something as plain as day

I think it's safe to say

That's it's just no good

And I don't need you in my life

The way you cut me like a knife

You burned me once, but now that it's done

You'll never burn me twice

Now that it's all been said and done

Do you like what you've become

Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed

And what a shame

I know you think you're always right, and just because

You've got God in your life

But he don't appreciate the way you lied

He can't believe how hard you tried

To take me down, to take it all, hanging around

And making sure I fall

Then say it was me to blame, and I was

For trusting someone like you anyways

And I don't need you in my life

The way you cut me like a knife

You burned me once, but now that it's done

You'll never burn me twice

Now that it's all been said and done

Do you like what you've become

Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed

And what a shame

Now that it's all been said and done

Do you like what you've become

Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed

And what a shame

And I don't need you in my life

The way you cut me like a knife

You burned me once, but now that it's done

You'll never burn me twice

Now that it's all been said and done

Do you like what you've become

Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed

And what a shame

Now that it's all been said and done

Do you like what you've become

Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed

And what a shame
