• Chorus
    ----------------

    What a shame, What a shame
    They search thier hearts for one to blame
    The blame rests on them, all the same
    The choir sings
    And the tears fall like rain
    So now we ask, please give this poor soul her wings

    -----------------

    Her mother yells at her again
    Her father's hand across her face again
    But still they ask, what went wrong
    I watched it all, the only one to ever get close to her again
    I saw a side of her, they just couldn't see
    For so long they couldn't see
    Her tears mix with her blood
    But still they couldn't see her pain

    {music}

    Have I said enough?

    Chorus

    What a shame
    To have to bury her, for you to see you blame is the same
    What a shame

    {music}

    For every name
    Every tear
    You search for someone else to blame
    But if your wrong, then who is right
    Then i guess you were wrong, and she had to die for you to understand her pain
    But still you search for someone to blame
    School and friends, stress and teens
    It doesn't matter, your just pointing fingers again

    {music}

    But what do you care about that?
    Did you ever even care?

    {music}

    Have I said enough?

    Chorus

    What a shame
    you hide your faces again
    Even when you feel the pain again

    What a shame

    {music}

    What a shame
    you lost your daughter again

    {music}

    Does this even phase you?
    Or is the pain just too great? You lost your daughter, and your to blame
    Maybe if you had seen, all the pain
    Take a moment, to try to understand
    With every name, every crying pain
    You pushed, her, closer to the end

    Chorus

    What a shame, to have to bury your daughter
    But the pain is all the same

    What a shame, do you hear the church bells ring?
    Watch the silence the mourners bring

    What a shame, what a shame
    the pain is all the same

    What a shame, what a shame
    Hear the church bells ring
    Watch tears the mourners bring
    now please, heaven, give this angel her wings

    {music}
