Shame Away

SHAME AWAY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

There's something caught in the back of my throat 

Words I can't seem to swallow 

There's something happening over my head

Thoughts that seem to be too hollow 

Take my shame away by midnight 

Lay the blame all on me if you like 

I got a name that keeps me going strong 

And you stand there with so much need

And broken 

You claim the covers when we're sleeping 

We're not lovers anymore when we weep

I kick myself out of bed when you kick me 

We become whores to our society 

Take my shame away by midnight 

Lay the blame all on me if you like 

I got a name that keeps me going strong 

And you stand there with so much need

And broken 

My dream is your nightmare 

That's what you say 

Every night is a million different faces

Memories you didn't want to see with your own eyes

I warned you about my history 

There's something caught in the back of my throat 

Words I can't seem to swallow 

There's something happening over my head

Thoughts that seem to be too hollow 

Take my shame away by midnight 

Lay the blame all on me if you like 

I got a name that keeps me going strong 

And you stand there with so much need

And broken 

We are so broken

Love is slipping away 

Two people broken

Every night the same thing

The same pain

Loneliness eats them both alive
