What A Shame

from Six Songs from Insomnia by shinkawasaki

/

lyrics

Can't help but stare at your hand in my hand
We both know it's a risky game
at least one of us will get hurt in the end
Who's to blame, who's to Blame

Can’t keep messing with your head and my head
Neither can I keep quiet instead
Same old story, just not the one I read
What a shame, what a shame

Can't help but dream of your face, your grace
Might as well be a moth to a flame
Better let go or there'll be no hiding place
Can’t be tamed, can’t be tamed

Can’t keep on looking down on your phone all day
shuffling the words you wish you could say
Nothing you’d do would make them all go away
What a shame, what a shame

Can't stand ourselves having to play charades
All the while wanting them to break
One card flips and it shows the ace of spades
I can't fake, I can't fake

Nothing would ease this ever-growing pain
A fruitless yearning remains the same
In another universe, we shall meet again
What a shame
