Lyrics I Didn't Have The Nerve It Took To Go - Billy Walker

I Didn't Have The Nerve It Took To Go

I’ve always tried to tell you that someday I’d change
That I wouldn’t let you hurt me anymore
But you would laugh and say that I would stay the same
That I didn’t have the nerve it took to go
I’ve locked the house and in the mailbox is the key
I only took the things that are my own
You’ll regret the words sweetheart you’ve often said to me
That I didn’t have the nerve it took to go
Every step I take I leave a tear in its place
I know that without you I can’t go on
But in my mind I hear the same ol' things you told me
That I didn’t have the nerve it took to go
I’ve taken back the key and I’ve unlocked the door
I realized that pride I can’t live on
I guess that in my heart you were right all along
That I didn’t have the nerve it took to go
