"Shame"

This song is about a romantic breakup. The author's feeling toward the subject is remorseful, yet sincere. The adjectives and verbs that indicate this tone are: "Swear; "Lift"; "Different." These verbs/adjectives communicate his feelings by expressing specifically how he feels. "Different" shows how he regrets his old actions, but he is "different" now in comparison. Using the verb "swear" shows his sincerity by promising forever more to be a better person. "Lift" personifies the weight of the guilt and the shame as well as the pain he is feeling as a result.
