Lyrics Steve Lukather

Steve Lukather

Tears Of My Own Shame

Queen of Hearts and Sister Vanity

Took me by the hand to show me royalty

In this castle so many things to see

And all I could become, a knight wasted away

I said Ooh ooh...it's not any thing you did to me

It's not what you made me feel I did to you

I cry, angry that I played the fool

For these are the tears of my own shame

Even just a page I never thought to read

And writing on the wall became a tapestry

The blues I felt , the reds they blinded me

And all the greens only taught me jealousy

REPEAT CHORUS

And I am not what I care to be

And she is not what I came to see

And like some Shakespearean tragedy

That in the end have to question...finally

REPEAT CHORUS
