Within your heart you shelter the shame that you deserve
You can't look me in the eye cause you don't have the nerve
Your new life's out of kilter, you saw your dream world swerve
You should take the blame alone but you don't have the nerve
Don't blame fate because you hate the one that proved untrue
Just pay the price and sacrifice the way I did for you
Your shebang has boomeranged cause he threw you a curve
For the life you spent you should repent but you don't have the nerve
You know your heart's unstable, for you there's no reserve
You'd like to say I'm sorry but you don't have the nerve
The cards are on the table, the truth we can observe
You'd like to ask me to forgive but you don't have the nerve
Because you knew I worshipped you, you left me all alone
And now you pine because you find when you come back I'm gone
Today you felt your whole world melt, your dreams just won't conserve
The love you've lost, so pay the cost but you don't have the nerve
