It's A Shame

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
 And it's a shame, oh, it's a shame
 That you are throwing your whole life away
 And it's a shame, oh, it's a shame
 I wonder if you're ever goin' to change
 Oh, it's a shame, yeah
 ♪
 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
 It's a shame, oh, it's a shame
 That you are throwing your whole life away
 And it's a shame, oh, it's a shame
 I wonder if you're ever going to change
 You left her without leaving
 You hit her without swinging
 You took away without givin' a thing
 Except for pain and sorrow
 I'm prayin' that tomorrow
 That you will open up your eyes and see
 Well, it's a shame, oh, it's a shame
 That you are throwing your whole life away
 And it's a shame, oh, it's a shame
 And I wonder if you're ever going to change
 Oh, it's a shame
 Oh, it's a shame
 We will change
 We will change
