[Intro]
Why do you want to waste your life away?
It’s a shame

It’s a shame
It’s a shame

[Verse]
Anyone can learn to fly
Keep your head up
Keep your hand held high
Now, anyone can learn to soar
Get yourself up
'Cuz you deserve more

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on to your heart
You can make a brand new start
Just believe in your dreams
Make yourself feel loved and be happy

[Chorus]
It’s a shame
The way you live your life is a shame
And you got no one to blame

It’s a shame
The way you live your life is a shame
And you got no one to blame

[Verse]
Anyone can learn to fly
Keep your head up
Keep your hand held high
Now, anyone can learn to soar
Get yourself up
'Cuz you deserve more

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on to your heart
You can make a brand new start
Just believe in your dreams
Make yourself feel loved and be happy

[Chorus]
It’s a shame
(Just believe in it, just a little bit)
The way you live your life is a shame
(Just believe in it, just a little bit)
And you got no one to blame

It’s a shame
(Just believe in it, just a little bit)
The way you live your life is a shame
(Just believe in it, just a little bit)
And you got no one to blame

[Post-Chorus]
It’s a shame (Just believe in it, Just a little bit)
It’s a shame (Just believe in it, Just a little bit)
It’s a shame (Just believe in it, Just a little bit)
It’s a shame (Just believe in it, Just a little bit)

[Bridge]
All dressed up
And nowhere to go
So much to give
So little to show
For yourself

It’s your life
You don’t get to live it twice
But can’t be afraid to fall
So much to give
And still you try to hide
You don’t have to do it all

But It’s a shame (Just believe in it)
(Just, just, just believe in it)
(Just believe in it)
(Just, just believe in it)
It’s a shame
(Just believe in it)
(Just, just, just believe in it)
(Just believe in it)
(Just, just believe in it)

[Pre-Chorus]
So hold on to your heart
You can make a brand new start
Just believe in your dreams
Make yourself feel loved and be happy

[Chorus]
It’s a shame
(Just believe in it, just a little bit)
The way you live your life is a shame
(Just believe in it, just a little bit)
And you got no one to blame

It’s a shame
(Just believe in it, just a little bit)
The way you live your life is a shame
(Just believe in it, just a little bit)
And you got no one to blame

[Bridge]
All dressed up
And nowhere to go
So much to give
So little to show
For yourself

It’s a shame (Just a little bit, Just, just believe in it)
It's a shame (Just a little bit, Just, just believe in it)
It’s a shame (Just a little bit, Just, just believe in it)
It’s a shame (Just a little bit, Just, just believe in it)
It’s a shame (Just a little bit, Just, just believe in it)

[Chorus]
It’s a shame
(Just believe in it, Just a little bit)
The way you live your life is a shame
(Just believe in it, Just a little bit)
And you got no one to blame

It’s a shame
(Just believe in it, Just a little bit)
The way you live your life is a shame
(Just believe in it, Just a little bit)
And you got no one to blame

[Bridge]
All dressed up
And nowhere to go
So much to give
So little to show
For yourself

[Chorus]
It’s a shame
(Just a little bit, Just, just believe in it)
The way you live your life is a shame
(Just believe in it, Just, just believe in it)
And you got no one to blame

It’s a shame
(Just a little bit, just, just believe in it)
The way you live your life is a shame
(Just believe in it, just, just believe in it)
And you got no one to blame

[Outro]
Why do you want to waste your life away?
(Just believe in it)
(Just, just believe in it)
It’s a shame
(Just believe in it)
(Just, just believe in it)

(Just believe in it)
(Just, just believe in it)
(Just believe in it)
(Just, just believe in it)
