Kris Beeks - Ain't It a Shame Lyrics

Oh, ain't it such a shame, it turned out this way?
So shallow that fame itself would cry
And I'd rather die
Than stand here and lie
And say that I'm living my life right
I promised you I'd never quit
I promised you I'd stick with it
I've never tried so hard in my life
So I'll take this knife
And plunge it straight into my heart

Somewhere deep inside of me
Is the boy I used to be
After what you did to me
He's left drowning in a sea
Of regrets and misery
Giving up on everything that he thought that he should believe
You brought him to his knees and now all he does is grieve
And hope everything turns out alright

Oh, ain't it such a shame, it turned out this way?
So shallow that fame itself would cry
And I'd rather die
Than stand here and lie
And say that I'm living my life right

I stare at myself in the mirror
The only voice that I can hear
Is you saying goodbye
I'm not the man I used to be
Since the day you walked away from me
With no good reason why
But I have learned to cope
I've abandoned all my hope
I've got no reason to try
I'm so used to being alone
Emptiness is my new home
And you're the reason why

Oh, ain't it such a shame, it turned out this way?
So shallow that fame itself would cry
And I'd rather die
Than stand here and lie
And say that I'm living my life right
I promised you I'd never quit
I promised you I'd stick with it
I've never tried so hard in my life
So I'll take this knife
And plunge it straight into my heart
