Lyrics Bertine Zetlitz

Bertine Zetlitz

Ashamed

How you gonna fall-fall-fall asleep at night

Knowing that you never taught her how to fight

Knowing she don't know how to clench her fists real tight

Knowing she'll be better off way out of sight

How you gonna make her feel her way around

Ninjas' how I'll do they hardly make a sound

How you're gonna teach her not to make a mess

Running can be hard in high heels and a dress

And if I love you half as hard

I know that I will fall apart

Sometimes while I sleep

The company I keep

Makes me ashamed

And if I love you twice as much

You probably won't stay in touch

Sometimes when I dream

The images I see

Makes me ashamed

Telling her sometimes that tigers come at dawn

Teaching her to be the queen and not a pawn

Ripping off your heart to show her how it breaks

Swallowing your pride to show how bad it aches

Look at all these papercuts

And all is in my heart

You know these papercuts

Mean we will never part

Among my favorite wounds are those that never heal

Among my favorite friends are those who never feel
