The subject of the song is the mistakes the speaker has made, and the tone is humble. The first word that brings out the tone is "please", which gives the listener the impression that the speaker is begging the person whom the song is for, and thus creating this image of the speaker viewing himself as lesser. The title of the song, "shame", also adds to the tone by showing that the speaker has self-awareness and repentance. Thirdly, when the speaker talks about himself subjectively, using the term "strutted", he shows that he knows he was once arrogant and can now reflect on that and be remorseful for his actions. All of these words reveal how diction help tie together the "humble" tone and feeling of the song.
