What A Shame

You sold me a lie
You swear you meant at the time
What good are good intentions
When you know that I'm dying
Because of you

I'm spinning my wheels
Because it's painfully clear
I've become an inconvenience
That you don't want to deal with
So you cut me loose

One day I'll bump into someone
Who knew us both when we were young
And I can predict what they will say
"I thought you'd make it, what a shame"
And I'll only nod to be polite
Inside I'm screaming "so did I, so did I"

Our souls are the same
In ways that I can't explain
Eventually you'll see it
But I won't be here waiting
Until you do

One day I'll bump into someone
Who knew us both when we were young
And I can predict what they will say
"I thought you'd make it, what a shame"
And I'll only nod to be polite
Inside I'm screaming "so did I, so did I"

It's like we got matching tattoos except
That you didn't say
That yours was only temporary
Until you washed me away
And I thought I left a mark on you
But couldn't find a trace
And I've tried so hard to remove you
But I can still feel your stain

What a shame
What a shame

One day I'll bump into someone
Who knew us both when we were young
And I can predict what they will say
"I thought you'd make it, what a shame"
And I'll only nod to be polite
Inside I'm screaming "so did I, so did I"
