Sheldon Haley (born December 18, 1972), better known as Shae, Shay or Shade, is an American musician. He is a member of the funk rock band, N*E*R*D, who often contributes backup vocals, while Pharrell Williams carries lead duties, and Chad Hugo supplies the production. His role in the band is often questioned, but in a recent interview, Pharrell stated that Shae is the root of the band. Pharrell also stated that Shae keeps everyone grounded and together.
Haley appears to keep away from the spotlight, compared to his band mates, Williams, and, to a lesser extent, Hugo, who are both members of the production duo The Neptunes. During an interview by The Source Magazine, Haley stated that this is all intentional as he does not wish to pay the price of fame, such as being mobbed by masses of fans or having to hire a bodyguard.
In November 2010 he married Jackie Garcia, the girlfriend of slain NFL Safety Sean Taylor and niece of actor Andy Garcia.
Waking up from the shock, still dying from the night before
So mad I can't speak, but I keep coming back for more
Did you see me there (looking back at you), did you even care?
All the things you said to me, every lie that I believed
I can't erase the memory, I remember
Cut so deep I can't forget, loving you is my regret
I thought that I was over it, but I remember (I remember)
I wanna shut it all out, I wish that this was all a dream (a distant memory)
I try so hard to forget but it keeps coming back to me (it's coming back to me)
I should leave I know (but I keep looking back) but I can't let go
All the things you said to me, every lie that I believed
I can't erase the memory, I remember
Cut so deep I can't forget, loving you is my regret
I thought that I was over it, but I remember (I remember)
I should've known you'd take it all away, shoulda known you'd break my heart again
I should just forget it all but I remember
All the things you said to me, every lie that I believed
I can't erase the memory, I remember
Cut so deep I can't forget, loving you is my regret
