I'm ashamed of how I acted
When I thought I was in love
I can only chalk it up to
Being young and unencumbered

I have shame
I have shame
I have shame
And I carry it with me, shame

If I hurt you
Caused you damage
You can name me like an actor
I lay my head down right beside you
I am yours now

I am the problem
I am conditioned
Thrill of chase and
Afraid to listen
But I'll let my guard down
I'll stand beside you
I am yours now
Baptized and carrying shame

I have shame
And I carry it with me, shame
Whenever I go I have shame
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shame
I have shame
I carry it with me, shame
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shame

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shame...
Oh, shame...

Shame, oh, shame
Shame, oh, shame
Shame, shame
Shame, shame
