Tears of my own shame

Queen of Hearts and Sister Vanity. Took me by the
hand to show me royalty. In this castle so many
things to see. And all I could become, a knight
wasted away. I said Ooh ooh...it's not any thing
you did to me. It's not what you made me feel I
did to you. I cry, angry that I played the fool.
For these are the tears of my own shame. Even just
a page I never thought to read. And the writing on
the wall became a tapestry. The blues I felt , the
reds they blinded me. And all the greens only
taught me jealousy. (REPEAT CHORUS) And I am not
what I care to be. And she is not what I came to
see. And like some Shakespearean tragedy. That in
the end I have to question...finally. (REPEAT
CHORUS)
