Shame Lyrics

I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it
nothing i could do to make it go away
I felt bad but there was nothing I could do to change it
nothing i could do to make things change

This is my shame
This is my shame

I felt bad but I kept trying to kid myself about it
trying to convince myself it was an honest mistake
I felt bad but what's done is done
only one thing remains

This is my shame
This is my shame

I know your mad at me
I know you wanna cut my throat
I know you think I think it's all a joke
I don't, I don't

This is my shame
This is my shame

I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it
nothing i could do to make it go away
I felt woke up and thought everything is gonna be alright
everything is gonna be ok

Then it hit me
like a wave
Then it hit me
like a wave

This is my shame
This is my shame

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
