Lyrics Shame - Ellis

I didn't know what would happen
And now I'll always wonder
If I hadn't let you in
That night in the summer

I was paralyzed
I was compromised
And when I realized
I chose to let it slide

And I told you that you shouldn't worry
But the truth is that I found you very scary
And you took all of my words, used them against me
When I tried to talk about the way you wronged me

You're the monster that still hides under my bed
You're the words that I thought but never said
You're the creature I still hear inside my head
You're the shame that I will carry til I'm dead

And I told you that you shouldn't worry
But the truth is that I found you very scary
And you took all of my words used them against me
When I tried to talk about the way you wronged me

And I wish I hadn't let you off so easy
But the truth is that I found you very scary

And you took all of my words used them against me
When I tried to talk about the way you wronged me
