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 (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 (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 (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
