Shame
The subject of the song is a mistake, in this case a mistake in a relationship. The tone of the song is regretful. One word that contributes to the tone is blame. He wants the blame to "lift up" meaning go away. He regrets what he did and he wants it to go away. Another word is boatloads. He feels very bad for what he did, whatever that may be. He has "boatloads of shame." Another word is guilt. He feels guilty for what he did and he regrets it. These three words all help to prove the tone is regretful.

Nice job dissecting the song. Be sure to use a comma with the conjunction when the conjunction is joining two independent clauses.
