lyrics

Well, it’s a goddamn shame how what we mean the most
Are the things that are hardest to say
Had a thousand conversations with you in my head
But your face just takes my words away

I know we teach young boys to make lots of noise
To live and not apologize
To choose a private hell rather than asking help
What’s a man to do if boys don’t cry?

And we teach young girls the way to serve the world
To be pleasing in another’s eyes
So if my words take flight when I should cuss and fight
Well, I really shouldn’t be surprised

But it’s a goddamn shame how what we feel the most
Are the things that are hardest to say
Can’t you see the signs? Can’t you read my mind?
You should have known it anyway

Yes it’s a goddamn shame but that’s the way things go
When you can’t treat each other right
Looking back today oh I can see the way
That I loved you without compromise

Yes it’s a goddamn shame but that’s the way things go
‘Cause you can’t treat each other right
Looking back today oh I can see the way
That I loved you without compromise
