lyrics

"SHAME" by David Guilbault

I’m ashamed of what I’ve done.
I’ve come here to confess.
It’s a shame I’m not the only one
Who can put this shame to rest.

It’s hard and painful to truly say.
To tell the truth just like it was.
But the deeds I done won’t go away,
Until the tale is told, I trust.

Redemption is out of reach.
Forgiveness, not for me.
I need no comfort now, so don’t you preach.
Let me tell this truthfully.

I did it. Can’t tell you why.
I did it. I took her life.

I’m gonna plead innocent.
I want to save my own life.
Gonna have to live here with my sins.
But I ain’t ready for the light.

Don’t you tell a soul now what I’ve done.
You don’t know the reasons why.
I’m ashamed, but I’m not the only one.
To carry this secret ‘til I die.

I did it. Can’t tell you why.
I did it. I took her life.
I did it. Can’t tell you why.
I did it. I took her life.
