"Shame"

1. The subject is shame in a failed relaitonship.
    The tone is sorrowful and regretful, but determined.
2. Three Words:
    Promise: His previous relationship failed, and the singer wants a second chance to change things. By using "promise" he assures his significant other that he will change and not make the same mistakes. This goes with the determined tone.
    Overwhelming: "Overwhelming" describes all that the singer has to bear from the relationship. He has to deal with everything that he did to lose his lover, leaving him with regret. This goes with the regretful tone.
    Cold: His heart is cold now that there is nothing there to warm it up. His heart is now basically a piece of ice. This goes with the sorrowful tone.
