Hidden Shame

[00:06.62] I'm sorry to say that you don't know me [00:10.54] I'm sad in ways you never understood [00:15.39] Each time I try to tell the ugly truth [00:19.65] You always let it pass you by [00:21.88] You said I 'd never tell you a lie [00:24.04] Just because I could [00:26.64] Did you really think I was a bad man? [00:30.79] You always said that that should be my middle name [00:35.29] But you don't know the half of it [00:37.75] You don't know how that name fits [00:40.75] You don't know my hidden shame [00:45.32] Hidden shame, shame, shame [00:47.33] That I can't get free [00:49.57] From the blame and the torture [00:51.46] And the misery [00:53.76] Must it be my secret for eternity? [00:58.00] Till you know my hidden shame you really don't know me [01:04.96] Well, there's a different kind of prison [01:09.00] And it don't even have to look much like a cell [01:14.19] It's already on your mind [01:15.77] Boy, we can see it in your eyes [01:18.28] So, here's the bars and walls as well [01:22.27] Well, you know I'm never coming home, babe [01:25.22] You said you'd stand by me until I cleared my name [01:30.32] Sure it's easy to be strong [01:32.87] When you know the charge is wrong [01:34.77] But the days and weeks get long [01:36.94] When you've got a hidden shame [01:41.56] Hidden shame, shame, shame [01:43.32] That I can't get free [01:45.47] From the blame and the torture [01:47.59] And the misery [01:49.66] Must it be my secret for eternity? [01:54.06] Till you know my hidden shame you really don't know me [02:09.03] I had a friend when I was just a boy [02:13.74] We were like brothers, we would run and hide [02:17.81] And we went walking on a high hillside [02:22.08] And I really don't how it happened [02:25.15] He turned to me and had this strange look in his eye [02:29.49] And not a single word was spoken [02:32.63] I must have pushed him, but I don't remember why [02:36.68] And all at once, he lay there broken [02:40.12] And I walked down without him and I didn't even sigh [02:44.76] Hidden shame, shame, shame [02:46.75] That I can't get free [02:48.76] From the blame and the torture [02:50.92] And the misery [02:52.96] Must it be my secret for eternity? [02:57.24] Till you know my hidden shame you really don't know me [03:04.32] They say you always hurt the one you love [03:08.94] And I'm not saying if I did or if I didn't [03:12.91] But like my shame, that kind of love is always hidden [03:17.00] They locked me up here for the ideas in my head [03:21.21] They never got me for the thing I really did [03:24.72] Hidden shame, shame, shame [03:27.04] That I can't get free [03:28.10] From the blame and the torture [03:30.98] And the misery [03:33.27] Must it be my secret for eternity? [03:37.25] Till you know my hidden shame you really don't know me [03:42.10]
