"Tears Of My Own Shame" lyrics - STEVE LUKATHER

STEVE LUKATHER
"Tears Of My Own Shame"
(Steve Lukather / Phil Soussan)

Queen of hearts and sister vanity
Took me by the hand to show me royalty
In this castle so many things to see
And all I could become, a knight wasted away
I said ooh ooh...it's not any thing
Did to me
It's not what you made me feel I did to you
I cry, angry that I played the fool
For these are the tears of my own shame
Even just a page I never thought to read
And the writing on the wall became a tapestry
The blues I felt, the reds they blinded me
And all the greens only taught me jealousy

[Chorus]

And I am not what I care to be
And she is not what I came to see
And like some shakespearean tragedy
That in the end I have to question...finally

[Chorus]
