Shame is the shadow of love

You changed my life
We were as green as grass

I'd jump for you into the fire
I'd jump for you into the flames
Tried to go forward with my life
But just feel shame, shame, shame

If you tell a lie
I still would take the blame
If you pass me by
It's such a shame, shame, shame
