Walk Of Shame

Morning comes…

But I’m not hiding.

Sunrise painted on the street,

High heels keeping perfect beat,

Last night’s glitter on my skin,

Like a medal that I wear with pride,

Coffee shops begin to wake,

Neon signs start to fade,

Everybody’s looking twice,

But I don’t apologize.

Call it what you want…

I’ll call it living…

Every memory…

Was worth the feeling.

This ain’t a walk of shame…

It’s a walk of fame,

Every step reminds me

Why I played the game,

No regrets,

No disguise,

I’m still shining in the morning light,

This ain’t a walk of shame…

It’s a victory parade tonight.

Head up…

Heart strong…

Keep walking…

All night long…

Mascara slightly out of place,

Still a smile across my face,

Every story leaves a spark,

Even after it gets dark,

Taxi pulling to the curb,

City finally catching breath,

I’m not running from the night,

I’m carrying it into daylight.

Let them whisper…

Let them wonder…

They’ll never know…

What freedom feels like.

This ain’t a walk of shame…

It’s a walk of fame,

Every step reminds me

Why I played the game,

No regrets,

No disguise,

I’m still shining in the morning light,

This ain’t a walk of shame…

It’s a victory parade tonight.

If confidence had footsteps…

They’d sound just like these…

Every sunrise writes another page…

And I’m still the author of my story.

This ain’t a walk of shame…

It’s a brand-new day,

Every mile behind me

Helped me find my way,

No looking back,

Only skies,

Every ending brings another rise,

This ain’t a walk of shame…

It’s the moment I realized…

I never had to be ashamed.

The night’s over…

My story isn’t.
