Because of the Shame

Woah, woah, woah, woah

We used to get high together

Instead of getting high alone

Can't remember the last time I saw you

Can't remember the last time we talked

You left home for a fresh start

Working as a waitress down in Bradenton

With my name tattooed into your skin

Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability

I am numbing myself completely

Can you hear me right now?

I watched your mother bury you today, with tears in her eyes

Oh it wasn't her words that shook me

But the resemblance you shared

Woah, woah

Don't it seem so detached and unreal?

Don't it seem so far away?

Like the past never happened

Or like nothing's ever changed

With your casket open in front of me

Your eyes closed and your lips silent

My name tattooed into your skin

Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability

I am numbing myself completely

Can you hear me right now?

I watched your mother bury you today, with tears in her eyes

Oh it wasn't her words that shook me

But the resemblance you shared

Woah, woah

Didn't listen to the preacher

Couldn't look your husband in the eye

Well, I'm not sure what I meant to you then

So I'm not sure what I owe you now

But if something I said hurt you

I swear it was not my intention

With your name tattooed into my skin

With your name tattooed into my skin

Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability

I am numbing myself completely

Can you hear me right now?

I watched your mother bury you today, with tears in her eyes

Oh it wasn't her words that shook me

But the resemblance you shared

Oh it wasn't her words that shook me

But the resemblance you shared

Woah, woah, woah, woah

Can you hear me right now?

Can you hear me right now?
