Shame

[Verse 1]

You’ve been good, I’ve been good too

But it’s good to see you

Second thoughts are sometimes best thoughts left unsaid

And so I’ll press my lips to my fingertip and say

[Chorus]

"Isn’t it a shame? Isn’t it a shame?

To know we could be lovers, if a few things changed?"

In the face of the light, we’ll go our separate ways

[Verse 2]

Another time, another place

I might have stayed here with you

In the shade beneath the magnolia tree today

[Chorus]

Isn’t it a shame? Isn’t it a shame?

To know we could be lovers, if a few things changed

In the face of the light, we’ll go our separate ways

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Isn’t it a shame? Isn’t it a shame?

When you come to know the difference

Between someone who can change

And someone who says they will

But still stays stuck in their ways
