What A Shame!

(album: Ex Talk - 2021)

So sick of watching you cry as he walks away
I'll catch your tears, but it's not for me to say
I'll collect 'em in a jar for a sunny day
In case you ever forget he made you feel this way

You're stuck in a fairytale
But you can't see your dress is in tatters
He's never there when it matters
Your Cinderella slipper shatters
Now you're sadder and your prince is a fraud
Swear to God

Girl, you shine so bright that it's blinding to me
But you, you don't see
What a shame, shame, shame, shame
You play the fool so that he can be king
It's a tragedy
Oh, what a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame

Don't wanna see you waste all of your younger days
You should be running 'round, not tying down
'Cause he's just a phase
If true love's kiss is what you really crave
You'll be sleeping forever, you may never wake

You're stuck in a fairytale
But you can't see your dress is in tatters
He's never there when it matters
Your Cinderella slipper shatters
Now you're sadder and your prince is a fraud
Swear to God

Girl, you shine so bright that it's blinding to me
But you, you don't see
What a shame, shame, shame, shame
You play the fool so that he can be king
It's a tragedy
Oh, what a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame

Oh, what a shame
Hey, hey, oh

Well, ain't this perfect timing?
I can tell that you've been crying
No, it don't take a genius to see
Your eyes are red and puffy
You ask, "Does he still love me?"
Girl, shake yourself awake from this dream

Girl, you shine so bright that it's blinding to me
But you, you don't see
What a shame, shame, shame, shame
You play the fool so that he can be king
It's a tragedy
Oh, what a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
