"You Don't Have The Nerve" lyrics

You Don't Have The Nerve

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 love'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 you 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 worshiped you
You left me all alone
And now you pine
Because you find
When you come back I'm gone

Today you felt
You 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
