Ryan Lee Jones - shame.

She's been in control
And we've been growing older
Together we're never sober
And I've been trying to keep dry
She promises happiness
And I believe what she says about me
She's a stunner but she's a killer
A work of fiction
A contradiction
Shame won't let go of me
And I can't believe the grace of God would pardon me
She beats me with wooden rods
She acts like the wrath of God
She demands a perfect score
And I've decided to study more
She keeps me awake at night
I'm terrified of holy fire
She brings up my dark desire
And I've been trying to break free
Trying to break free from
Shame, she washes over me
And I can't believe the grace of God would pardon me
Will you pardon me
She got out of bed
And came down the stairs
Saw papers and checks
And a man standing there
And You were that man
Said you filed my divorce
She screamed in her hands
And slipped out the door
Looked like a corpse
And I fell on the floor
Grace washes over me
Yet I can't believe the grace of God would pardon me
