Dear Shame lyrics
Song information
Artist: Newsboys Album: Not Ashamed
Lyrics
I catch you digging in my trash For stuff I've long thrown away You bring it back on a tray
And I hear you wheezing in the hall Spreading gems and old news You always love to confuse I flee the light just to live in your shadow I'm needing mercy and you offer me blame
Chorus 1 Dear shame: You're oh so eager to toy with me You're always stealing the joy in me You love to whisper my name, dear shame, dear shame
You've got me living like a bug Crawling in fear (It's been a very long year.) I dream of growing some wings I think I'm flying away Then you point and you spray All my hidden secrets Crave the light of forgiveness You pull the shades You accuse and you blame
- chorus 1 -
I fled the light just to live in your shadow I needed mercy, and you offered me blame
Chorus 2 Dear shame: I think I'm wise to your strategy I won't be needing your company My name's eternally clear Dear shame Dear shame
