Skylar Grey - Shame On You

Copied!

{Verse 1}
It should be illegal to be as handsome as you are
You should be locked up so you can't break nobody else's heart

{Pre-Chorus}
'Cause you steal the beauty from the whole rest of the world
What you do to me, it could kill a girl, oh-oh-oh

{Chorus}
Shame on you, because of you
The sun never looked so dull
Shame on you, because of you
The flowers aren't as colorful
Shame on you, 'cause next to you
There's nothing special 'bout a waterfall
Shame on you
For being so beautiful

{Verse 2}
I lay in my bed tonight and I wonder where you are
Since you're not here with me, baby, midnight never felt so dark

{Pre-Chorus}
'Cause you stole the light from every star up in the sky
What you do to me, it should be a crime, oh-oh-oh

{Chorus}
Shame on you, because of you
The sun never looked so dull
Shame on you, because of you
The flowers aren't as colorful
Shame on you, 'cause next to you
There's nothing special about a waterfall
Shame on you
For being so beautiful

{Bridge}
You're the only thing that's beautiful
You're the only thing that's beautiful
You're the only thing that's beautiful
You're the only thing that's beautiful, oh-oh-oh

{Chorus}
Shame on you, because of you
The sun never looked so dull
Shame on you, because of you
The flowers aren't as colorful
Shame on you, 'cause next to you
There's nothing special 'bout a waterfall
Shame on you
For being so beautiful, you're the only thing that's beautiful

{Outro}
(You're the only thing that's beautiful) The only thing that's beautiful
You're the only thing that's beautiful
(You're the only thing that's beautiful) The only thing that's beautiful
You're the only thing that's beautiful
The only thing that's beautiful

edit bio

Holly Brook Hafermann, better known by her stage name, Skylar Grey, is an American singer/songwriter. She has worked with a countless number of mainstream artists on incredibly successful songs. Some of the most popular of these include Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie,” Dr. Dre’s “I Need A Doctor,” and Nicki Minaj’s “Bed Of Lies.”

She has released three studio albums: Like Blood Like Honey, Don’t Look Down, and her most recent, Natural Causes, which produced four singles, and a feature from her frequent collaborating partner, Eminem.

Skylar gained 4 Grammy nominations for her work on “Love The Way You Lie” (2011) and “I Need a Doctor” (2012).

In an interview, Skylar explained the origin and meaning behind her artist name, saying:

Gray became my favorite color when I was going through a time in my life that was full of uncertainty, The color gray became a religion to me. Within the ‘undefined’ or ‘gray’ areas lies an infinite amount of possibilities. Believing in this helped me have hope for a positive shift in my future, as I was treading water in a sea of unknowns. Therefore, I started to surround myself with shades of gray. I threw out every piece of clothing in my closet that had color in it, and I moved to the Oregon coast, where the skies are gray and rainy, hence ‘Skylar.’

She even has a tattoo of the word “grey” written across her fingers, which further exemplifies her fondness of the color.
