Tears of My Own Shame

Queen of hearts and sister vanity Took me by the hand to show me royalty In this castle, so many things to see And all I could become, a knight wasted away I said (ooh, ooh) it's not anything you did to me (Ooh, ooh) oh, it's not what you made me feel I did to you (Ooh, ooh) oh, I cry, angry that I played the fool For these are the tears of my own shame Of my own shame, yeah Even just a page I never thought to read And the writing on the wall became a tapestry The blues I felt, the reds they blinded me And all the greens only taught me jealousy And I said (ooh, ooh) it's not anything you did to me (Ooh, ooh) yeah, it's not what you made me feel I did to you (Ooh, ooh) I cry, angry that I played the fool For these are the tears of my own shame Of my own shame And I am not what I care to be And she is not what I came to see And like some Shakespearean tragedy That in the end I have to question finally And I said (ooh, ooh) it's not anything you did to me (Ooh, ooh) yeah, it's not what you made me feel I did to you (Ooh, ooh) I cry, angry that I played the fool For these are the tears of my own shame (Ooh, ooh) it's not anything you did to me (Ooh, ooh) yeah, it's not what you made me feel I did to you (Ooh, ooh) I cry, angry that I played the fool For these are the tears of my own shame, yeah The tears of my own shame
