Bits of Shame


The one thing I fear is, you Disappointing me Abandoning me Leaving me alone While I'm out proclaiming our love I don't like having to guess if you'll call me Praying to God, every inbox message comes from you Sometimes I wish you were predictable So that it would be easier for me to sleep at night I don't doubt you in the major things I'm more concerned with the minors The little things do count But you make up for them, by replacing them with "other little things" I didn't expect So you're forgiven It's true, you've done things that have hurt my feelings And I've cried, because in that split moment I feared that that's how it will be for a lifetime Me wanting the little things And you replacing them with the things that count Respect & Loyalty, underlined by Commitment But underneath that, Disappointment You disappointment me in the little things that I want And that's what hurts me My relationship is not normal like everyone elses I know you love me But only hope you will keep all your promises Show me like you tell me Show me how responsible you are So I can stop questioning the depths of my faith in you That's what I want I wanna keep my blind faith, without any doubt That way, I won't have to be ashamed
