Ashamed Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know there's something that you're dying to tell me
I hope it's not about you in case you love me

[Pre-Chorus]
Make sure that no-one finds out
Tell me all about it
Don't keep it to yourself
Cause I can't bear the thought
I'll never leave you quietly
I know you'll find me
It doesn't matter cause I'm in control

[Chorus]
I know that you're ashamed
So emotional it kills you
Don't you know that you're ashamed
So emotional it kills you

[Verse 2]
There's always something that makes you guilty
There's still something that you're dying to tell me

[Pre-Chorus]
Make sure that no-one finds out
Tell me all about it
Don't keep it to yourself
Cause I can't bear the thought
I'll never leave you quietly
I know you'll find me
It doesn't matter cause I'm in control
[Chorus]
I know that you're ashamed
So emotional it kills you
Don't you know that you're ashamed
So emotional it kills you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Track eight on Disc 1 of the Hullabaloo Soundtrack, or Disc 2 of the DVD. It has very distorted vocals that make a good bit of it tough to understand, like the second line. Matt makes some crazy guitar sounds in this song. It seems to be about a (possible) girlfriend that doesn’t want to admit she loves him.

It is one of two B-Sides for Sunburn, the other being Yes Please.
