It's A Shame

I hate to be, to be the one
Who's given up
And feels that all our hope is gone
But what I thought was a miracle
Just turned into the same old
Problem that it was

She longs for better days
She's always been afraid

It's a shame, oh it's a shame
That you are throwing your whole life away
It's a shame, oh it's a shame
I wonder if you're ever going to change
It's a shame

Ever since I can recall
She has been so afraid
Of you losing it all
What do you want
Do you even know
And is it worth the pain
We all have to endure

She longs for better days
She's always been afraid

You left her without leaving
You hit her without swinging

You took away without giving a thing
Except for pain and sorrow
I'm praying that tomorrow
You will open up your eyes and see
