(You know how it is. You get with someone. Tryin' to make it work. You know you're not qualified and don't seem like they are either. You make a go of it. And you make a mistake. And you make up. And you make some more mistakes. And you make up. What goes around comes around. Sooner or later the mistakes start adding up. You feel shame. You feel like you can't go back to the person that you asked forgiveness from time and time again to say, "Please, enough, forgive me". And that's when the shame sets in. You kind of keep it to yourself for as long as you can. It starts coming out through the cracks, you know. The person who loves you knows somethings wrong. They're sayin' "What's wrong?" Can't talk about it Forgotten how to say how you feel anymore. You can't say it anymore. That's what shame is. Taking root here in your heart. That's where the shame is. Starts growing -- ugly twisted vine. Starts growing in your heart -- ugly twisted vine. Ugly twisted vine -- wraps itself around your heart.)

(Ugly twisted vine starts looking like a thorn bush. You know the kind that they say roses grow on. Not if you don't water it. No, flowers fall off. Could've been a rose bush but it's a twisted ugly thorn bush. Mmm I just descibed shame.)
