Shame on me for hurting you
What can I say? What can I do?
Last night I was blind, but today I see
I did you wrong. Shame on me.
You say you won't be seeing me again. You say we're through. I wouldn't want to see the sun rise tomorrow if I knew that to be true. I know that just sayin' I'm sorry doesn't sound like a lot, but the girl you saw me with last night means no more to me than a thousand stars to the gray clouds that cover the night. The more I looked at her, the more I realized how much I love you.
Shame on me for hurting you.
What can I say? What can I do?
Last night I was blind, but today I see
I did you wrong. Shame on me
I'll admit I shouldn't have given in to love's wild temptation with someone I cared nothing for. I was blind and I hurt you. Can you ever forgive a fool? A fool who really loves you?
Last night I was blind, but today I see
I did you wrong. Shame on me
