Lyrics
WHAT A SHAME
Never having much to say
Making each day for fun
That's how I grew to see the world with you
What have I been thinking of?
Look at my point of view
I didn't want to stop exploring you
What a life, what a pain
Such is life
What A Shame
Living life so suddenly
Making you want to learn
That's what I thought relationships should do
Did I take a rotten turn?
Am I getting what I deserve?
Well I guess I should have been a better girl, oh well
What a life, what a pain
Such is life
What A Shame
Just how far is it from over there to here?
Balancing between your power and your fear?
Just try and picture me standing at your door and tell me now
Why you don't want me anymore?
Tell me now
What A Shame
Don't I get a second chance inventing myself again?
I know I should have been a better girl
