You Don't Have The Nerve - Hank Thompson, Hank Thompson & His Brazos Valley Boys

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 sacrific the way I did for you

Your shebang has boomerangd '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 worshiped 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
