Lletres: Sister Hazel. Fortress. Shame On Me.

It's over and I'm overwhelmed
I'm emptied out like a dusty shelf
And you buried me and covered in shame
I'm here but you look right through me

Just hear me out for what it's worth
Ah you still take my breath away
I've come around I know you've heard it before
And again and again

Shame on me, shame on me
It's bittersweet, but I'm so sorry
Took so long but you believed
(I'm sorry it took so long)
Shame on me, shame on me
'Cause you're every question's answer
Shame on me

So clever, but I tripped somehow
I never guessed you could knock me down
I am, just a bit undone
Displaced and I'm burned like fire

Just hear me out for what it's worth
You still rip my breath away
I've come around I know you've heard it before
And again and again

Shame on me, shame on me
It's bittersweet, but I'm so sorry
Took so long but you believed
(I'm sorry it took so long)
(I'm sorry it took so long)
Shame on me, shame on me
'Cause you're every question's answer
Shame on me

Well I didn't get it
I never wanted to, my self-destructive attitude said,
"What did you want?
And why would you want it at all?"
But you never went away

You faded out but it took so long it's tainted
How could I let this slip away from me?
For a wondering Jones?
I'm back but you look right through me

Shame on me, shame on me
It's bittersweet, but I'm so sorry
Took so long but you believed
(I'm sorry it took so long)
(I'm sorry it took so long)
Shame on me, shame on me
'Cause you're every question's answer
Shame on me
Shame on me
Shame on me yea
Well shame on me
