Have you ever loved a woman So much you tremble in pain? So much it's a shame and a sin. And you know you can't leave her alone? And all the time you know She bears another man's name. But you just love that woman You just love that woman But all the

Get on your way No way you're gonna work And Jack don't rock Oh what a shame I open the door Ooo, I strut like a cock It's all coming back to me If it's all the same I'll get on my coat and leave

I was younger than you are now When I was given my first command I led my men straight into a massacre I witnessed their deaths firsthand I made every mistake And felt the shame rise in me And even now I lie awake Knowing history has its eyes on me (whoa)

Like breathing in sulfur Stay, you don't always know where you stand Till you know that you won't run away There's something inside me that feels My guilt and my shame always sell me short, Always feel the same And my face and my soul always wear me

Too many broken promises Too many Trail of Tears Too many times you were left cold For oh so many years Too many times you walked away And was made to feel ashamed And though you only tried to give You were often blamed How can this world be so dark

Doesn't it feel the same as the cattle out to graze Like a worm boring through cinders and rock and ash I think I need a broom To sweep away the day cleanse us of the shame we're in I'm in Like a stray with the mange runs and lies and man I think I need

Here's a song I sing for you About a girl that I once knew She lived in a great big house With golden gates where servants bowed Unashamed I'd sit outside and wait for hours Hoping that she'd climb down from her ivory towers This beautiful girl as pretty

Awaiting sand A burning man Coals under foot burst into flames Become the earth's ashes approach the door where I place blame Take the first step Cleansing my shame

I'll always be there for you, girl I have no shame Say it louder, say it louder I don't wanna hurt you but you live for the pain I'm not tryna say it but it's what you became You want me to fix you but it's never enough That's why you always call me

Man-made shame You see my pain is real Watch my world dissolve And pretend that none of us see the fall As I turned to sand You took me by the hand And declared, that love prevails over all All of what remains
