Song language: English
What a Shame |
| I’m in a box above the sky |
| Over mountains, rivers, and potted plants |
| And I imagined jumping and it didn’t feel bad |
| When I drive my car I imagine the crash |
| How would it feel, would I last? |
| I wanted to sing these words for so long |
| Put them in a poem and play this song |
| But how it’d kill my mother to think she did me wrong |
| Don’t you worry it’s just a song |
| I’m in a 7-Eleven by the detergent and first-aid kits |
| I see a man walk in and think |
| He could be the one to end all this |
| He could hold my life in his hands and choose it’s had enough |
| Would he know that I never have fallen in love? |
| If I went today |
| I’d have a laundry list of things I’m too afraid to say |
| I’d take them with me to by brand new grave |
| Oh, what a shame |
| Oh, what a shame |
| Well it’s a dark place to stand |
| Dreaming of death and holding it’s hand |
| I’m six years old again |
| In a princess dress my mother made |
| Running through a backyard maze |
| Getting that white dress all grass-stained |
| When I fall I get back up |
| When I’m hurtin', I cry it away |
| When did it get so hard to say what I want to say |
| When I meet the end |
| Sooner or later, it’ll come I’m sure of it |
| Watch the credits on my young life |
| Did I live like I could never die? |
| Waiting for a better time |
| Waiting for a different life |
| Oh, what a shame |
| Oh, what a shame |
