[Verse 1]
Oh, I tried to get to you
Pushed in vain to break me through
I tried with all I had
You left me standing empty handed
Well, times has passed
Nothing ever lasts

[Chorus 1]
And now you confess that you need me
And now you release what you're feeling
But how is this supposed to ever be the same?

[Chorus 2]
Oh, it's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
Yeah

[Verse 2]
You got the best of me
Got me a reason
Got me on my knees, yeah
My love, I lost my pride
Searching for something I couldn't find
Well, time apart has brought a change of heart
[Chorus 1]
And now you confess that you need me
And now you release what you're feeling
But how is this supposed to ever be the same?

[Chorus 2]
Oh, it's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
Yeah

[Bridge]
You got the best of me
I said love got the best of me
Saying you got the best of me
And I'm afraid it will never be the same

[Chorus 2]
Oh, it's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
Yeah
Oh, it's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
Oh, it's a shame
Oh, it's a shame
