Dear Shame - Newsboys

I catch you digging in my trash

For stuff I’ve long thrown away

You bring it back on a tray

And I hear you wheezing in the hall

Spreading gems and old news

You always love to confuse

I flee the light just to live in your shadow

I’m needing mercy and you offer me blame

Dear Shame:

You’re oh so eager to toy with me

You’re always stealing the joy in me

You love to whisper my name, Dear Shame, Dear Shame

You’ve got me living like a bug

Crawling in fear

(It's been a very long year.)

I dream of growing some wings

I think I’m flying away

Then you point and you spray

All my hidden secrets

Crave the light of forgiveness

You pull the shades

You accuse and you blame

I fled the light just to live in your shadow

I needed mercy, and you offered me blame

Dear Shame:

I think I’m wise to your strategy

I won’t be needing your company

My name’s eternally clear

Dear Shame

Dear Shame
