Within your heart you shelter the shame that you deserveYou can't look me in the eye cause you don't have the nerveYour new life's out of kilter, you saw your dream world swerveYou should take the blame alone but you don't have the nerveDon't blame fate because you hate the one that proved untrueJust pay the price and sacrifice the way I did for youYour shebang has boomeranged cause he threw you a curveFor the life you spent you should repent but you don't have the nerveYou know your heart's unstable, for you there's no reserveYou'd like to say I'm sorry but you don't have the nerveThe cards are on the table, the truth we can observeYou'd like to ask me to forgive but you don't have the nerveBecause you knew I worshipped you, you left me all aloneAnd now you pine because you find when you come back I'm goneToday you felt your whole world melt, your dreams just won't conserveThe love you've lost, so pay the cost but you don't have the nerve
