Tears of My Own Shame Songtext
von Steve Lukather

Queen of hearts and sister vanity
Took me by the hand to show me royalty
In this castle, so many things to see
And all I could become, a knight wasted away

I said (ooh, ooh) it′s not anything you did to me
(Ooh, ooh) oh, it's not what you made me feel I did to you
(Ooh, ooh) oh, I cry, angry that I played the fool
For these are the tears of my own shame
Of my own shame, yeah

Even just a page I never thought to read
And the writing on the wall became a tapestry
The blues I felt, the reds they blinded me
And all the greens only taught me jealousy


And I said (ooh, ooh) it′s not anything you did to me
(Ooh, ooh) yeah, it's not what you made me feel I did to you
(Ooh, ooh) I cry, angry that I played the fool
For these are the tears of my own shame
Of my own shame

And I am not what I care to be
And she is not what I came to see
And like some Shakespearean tragedy
That in the end I have to question finally

And I said (ooh, ooh) it's not anything you did to me
(Ooh, ooh) yeah, it′s not what you made me feel I did to you
(Ooh, ooh) I cry, angry that I played the fool
For these are the tears of my own shame

(Ooh, ooh) it′s not anything you did to me
(Ooh, ooh) yeah, it's not what you made me feel I did to you
(Ooh, ooh) I cry, angry that I played the fool
For these are the tears of my own shame, yeah
The tears of my own shame
