What you heard is true.
The disappointing truth
Is I don't like to lose
Shame on me, shame on me

Promises I made
And bills I never paid
Another missed birthday
Shame on me, shame on me

Bridges that I burned
And lovers that I hurt
Lessons never learned
Shame on me, shame on me

Hey,
I'm not trying to be perfect
It's not like it's worth it
Everyone hurts the same
Hey,
I'm not trying to be special
Cause I ain't no angel
Everyone hurts the same
What a shame

I repeat my words
Sometimes they seem rehearsed
And I speak out of turn
Shame on me shame on me

Bridges that I burned
And lovers that I hurt
Lessons never learned
Shame on me shame on me

Hey,
I'm not trying to be perfect
It's not like it's worth it
Everyone hurts the same
Hey,
I'm not trying to be special
Cause I ain't no angel
Everyone hurts the same
What a shame...

...that we're hiding underneath our skin
And we're scared of letting somebody in
Nobody showed us how to live...

...or how to be perfect
It's not like it's worth it

Hey,
I'm not trying to be perfect
It's not like it's worth it
Everyone hurts the same
And hey,
I'm not trying to be special
Cause I ain't no angel
Everyone hurts the same
What a shame

I'm not trying to be perfect
It's not like it's worth it
Everyone hurts the same
And hey,
I'm not trying to be special
Cause I ain't no angel
Everyone hurts the same
What a shame
