I'm Not Ashamed

We all make our plans, we all have our choices

Try on different faces, talk in other voices

I said a lot of things that never let me sleep

Made promises I really meant to keep

I’m not ashamed of the things I’ve done

I took the blame when I could have run

I’m not ashamed of the things I’ve done

I know I stayed when I could have gone

I don’t expect it to be easy for me

We’re tied together by a simple little pledge

Before we know the trust it takes to walk up to that edge

We build a house of cards where the wind has always blown

We build our little garden on a bed of sand and stones

It took to long for me to be who I am

Maybe it’s enough for me to be it when I can

I’m not ashamed of the things I’ve done

I took the blame when I could have run

I’m not ashamed of the things I’ve done

I know I stayed when I could have gone

I don’t expect it to be easy for me

Our little house is where the wind has always blown

Our little garden on a bed of sand and stones

We drift along in quiet waters on the tide

We rise and fall in rhythm almost satisfied

We let ourselves be drawn, let ourselves be used

I only ever wanted to be taken in by you

It took to long for me to be who I am

Maybe it’s enough for me to be it when I can

I’m not ashamed of the things I’ve done

I took the blame when I could have run

I’m not ashamed of the things I’ve done

I know I stayed when I could have gone

I don’t expect it to be easy for me

I’m not ashamed of the things I’ve done

I took the blame when I could have run

I’m not ashamed of the things I’ve done

I know I stayed when I could have gone

I don’t expect it to be easy for me
