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

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
