you've got the nerve

these chains won't break

these locks will hold all of your mistakes

safe and preserve

try not to shake

they'll never know all of these things

you're going to deserve

you've got the nerve

to count your sins but not your blessings

the way you instigate is often interesting

it's too sad to see that you believe in me

sit in the corner

think about the life you're missing

you can keep talking

but you know we'll never listen

it's too sad to see that you believe in me

i told you things

i guess i should have known

that you would let them out

lying still

while the birds

they flew about

you lied to me

you seem so proud

i let you in

but you let me down

you've got the nerve

to count your sins but not your blessings

the way you instigate is often interesting

it's too sad to see that you believe in me

sit in the corner

think about the life you're missing

you can keep talking

but you know we'll never listen

it's too sad to see that you believe in me

it's not too late

you're not too sure

we think you have it in you

it's not too late

you're not too sure

we think you have it in you

you've got the nerve

to count your sins but not your blessings

the way you instigate is often interesting

it's too sad to see that you believe in me

sit in the corner

think about the life you're missing

you can keep talking

but you know we'll never listen

it's too sad to see that you believe in me

and these chains won't break

these locks will hold
