Cover art for Shame lyrics by Avett Brothers, The

"The truth be known, the truth be told My heart was always fairly cold Posing to be as warm as yours My way of getting in your world"

I know that feeling. Pretending everything is fine, that you're not still hung up on that person. Walking around posing as someone who isn't broken. Hoping the person you loved will see you that way.
