Shame

I didn't know what would happen
 And now I'll always wonder
 If I hadn't let you in
 That night in the summer
 I was paralyzed
 I was compromised
 And when I realized
 I chose to let it slide
 And I told you that you shouldn't worry
 But the truth is that I found you very scary
 And you took all of my words, used them against me
 When I tried to talk about the way you wronged me
 You're the monster that still hides under my bed
 You're the words that I thought but never said
 You're the creature I still hear inside my head
 You're the shame that I will carry til I'm dead
 And I told you that you shouldn't worry
 But the truth is that I found you very scary
 And you took all of my words used them against me
 When I tried to talk about the way you wronged me
 And I wish I hadn't let you off so easy
 But the truth is that I found you very scary
 And you took all of my words used them against me
 When I tried to talk about the way you wronged me
