Shame

I say it's hard to be true around you
You say it's true I am hard on you
I say it's time to fix what little we have
You say we have little to fix

You tell me not to raise my voice
But tell me while you do the same

You say that it's my way or the highway
I say if you don't like it then why do you stay?
You tell me I'll only have things my way
But my way has more sense than yours

You tell me that you love me
I say then why do I hate you?

Being bound to you is more than I can bear
But you can't bear to be without

Shame you didn't see this,
When I still loved you true
Shame you couldn't own this hurt,
so I didn't have to bear it too.

Shame you couldn't see
that what you wanted you didn't need
And what you really needed,
you couldn't really see.

Staring at you from behind my thick lashes
Shame it took too long
Shame it's hurt us both so much
Shame it all has gone
