I hate to be, to be the one

Who’s given up

And feels that all our hope is gone

But what I thought was a miracle

Just turned into the same old

Problem that it was

She longs for better days

She’s always been afraid

It’s a shame, oh it’s a shame

That you are throwing your whole life away

It’s a shame, oh it’s a shame

I wonder if you’re ever going to change

It’s a shame

Ever since I can recall

She has been so afraid

Of you losing it all

What do you want

Do you even know

And is it worth the pain

We all have to endure

She longs for better days

She’s always been afraid

You left her without leaving

You hit her without swinging

You took away without giving a thing

Except for pain and sorrow

I’m praying that tomorrow

You will open up your eyes and see
