| Okay so I was wrong about | 
| My reasons for us fallin' out | 
| Of love I want to fall back in My life is different now I swear | 
| I know now what it means to care | 
| About somebody other than myself | 
| I know the things I said to you | 
| They were untender and untrue | 
| I’d like to see those things undo | 
| So if you could find it in your heart | 
| To give a man a second start | 
| I promise things won’t end the same | 
| Shame, boatloads of shame | 
| Day after day, more of the same | 
| Blame, please lift it off | 
| Please take it off, please make it stop | 
| Okay so I have read the mail | 
| The stories people often tell | 
| About us that we never knew | 
| But their existence will float away | 
| And just like every word they say | 
| And we will hold hands as they fade | 
| Shame, boatloads of shame | 
| Day after day, more of the same | 
| Blame, please lift it off | 
| Please take it off, please make it stop | 
| I felt so sure of everything | 
| My love to you so well received | 
| And I just strutted around your town | 
| Knowing I didn’t let you down | 
| The truth be known, the truth be told | 
| My heart was always fairly cold | 
| Posing to be as warm as yours | 
| My way of getting in your world | 
| But now I’m out and I’ve had time | 
| To look around and think | 
| And sink into another world | 
| That’s filled with guilt and overwhelming | 
| Shame, boatloads of shame | 
| Day after day, more of the same | 
| Blame, please lift it off | 
| Please take it off, please make it stop | 
| And everyone they have a heart | 
| And when they break and fall apart | 
| And need somebody’s helping hand | 
| I used to say just let 'em fall | 
| It wouldn’t bother me at all | 
| I couldn’t help them now I can |
