Third Day Lyrics



It's A Shame

words by Mac Powell music by Third Day



I hate to be, to be the one

Who's given up

And feels that all our hope is gone

But what I thought was a miracle

Just turned into the same old

Problem that it was



She longs for better days

She's always been afraid



It's a shame, oh it's a shame

That you are throwing your whole life away

It's a shame, oh it's a shame

I wonder if you're ever going to change

It's a shame



Ever since I can recall

She has been so afraid

Of you losing it all

What do you want

Do you even know

And is it worth the pain

We all have to endure



She longs for better days

She's always been afraid



You left her without leaving

You hit her without swinging



You took away without giving a thing

Except for pain and sorrow

I'm praying that tomorrow

You will open up your eyes and see
