I'm Not Ashamed
Big Country

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 stone


It took too 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


Our little houses where the wind has always blown

Our little garden - on a bed of sand and stone


We drift along in quiet waters on the tide

Rise and fall in rhythm – almost satisfied

We let ourselves be down – we let ourselves be used

I only ever wanted to be taken in by you


It took too 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'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
