What A Shame (comment this) (track, quote, artist, song)

This is a draft.
It's also personal, since everything quoted was actually said between
me and a friend of mine. You need to read this slowly, but not too slow.
It's a tad bit repetitive, but the pace I wrote it to will
make it work very well. It's a hard pace to catch onto as well,
so I may post some vocals to it later or something, so you wont be left in the dark.
It's only a draft for now, and I'll probably edit it later to fix the structure up a bit.
Every "-" represents a two second gap.

I had this girl - she walked up to me
She had an air - of formality
She adjusts her dress - so she can look proper
And she was dumb - but thought she knew it all

She looked me down - and said I was at fault
For judging one - who I knew was wrong
But what she said - Man, it pissed me off
I looked at her - and told her what I thought

And I said,
"What the hell kind of person are you, to let him live like this?
I wont stand around and waste my time, he might just end up dead."

Well she said,
"It's his life - Let him live it - Let him make his own mistakes
Just be there - To support him - In all his foolish ways."

Then I said,
"What the hell kind of 'christian' are you, to let him live like this?
Slowly kills himself everyday, and you don't even give a ****."

But then she stopped - and she was oh so pissed
And her face - matched the color of her dress
She looked at me - a look full of disdain
A look that said - she'd been put in her place

She yelled at me - and said she never thought
That I would say such a thing, about someone who I knew so long
But like I said - she thought she knew it all
I shut her up, and proved that she was wrong right from the start

And I said,
"What the hell kind of person are you, to let him down like this?
You only know what I've told you, and I haven't told you ****."

Well she said,
"It's his life - Let him live it - Let him make his own mistakes
Just be there - To support him - In all his foolish ways."

Then I said,
"What the hell kind of 'christian' are you, to let him live like this?
If he keeps on, wasting time - he's gonna end up dead."

And what a shame
That it has to end like this
It's a shame, that he can't even see right past his own damned fist

Yeah, it's a shame
It's all the same
And you know, nothin' lasts forever and every bond is bound to break
