lyrics

welcome to the closing, not for love what for?
it's easy to be taken, but to say
come again, leave again, waste of time, come again
i'm alone while you're having fun, you have faith while i feel none
sleep til late to waste half the day, but i'm happy to live this way
and i know that you can't see my pain,
but you know that i can see your pain,
me and shame are the same, me and shame take the blame
me and pain are the same, me and shame take the blame
