# AIN'T IT A SHAME [Verse 1] I've been smiling like the sun owed me Laughing loud so no one hears Told myself the hurt was temporary Turned out it took all my years [Pre-Chorus ] And I don't know who I was trying to save When I couldn't even save myself [Chorus] Ain't it a shame How we hurt and call it living Ain't it a shame How I broke and kept on grinning All this fear, all this pride Every time I chose to hide Ain't it a shame I'm the one I'm still forgiving [Verse 2] We keep fighting what we're scared of Calling every wound a war Everybody begs to be loved Nobody knows what for [Pre-Chorus] Tell me who we're really fighting When the enemy wears our face [Chorus] Ain't it a shame How we hurt and call it living Ain't it a shame How I broke and kept on grinning All this fear, all this pride Every time I chose to hide Ain't it a shame I'm the one I'm still forgiving [Bridge] I was gone before I left Held my breath Called it strength Called it strength [Final Chorus] Ain't it a shame How we hurt and call it living Ain't it a shame How I broke and kept on grinning All this fear, all this pride Every time I chose to hide Ain't it a shame I'm the one I'm still forgiving [Outro] Ain't it a shame Sun's still shining anyway [Fade Out] All credits to @LydiaCline for the original, vocals generated with my own voice via Suno Voices.
