Can't Take The Pain

No, I didn't see this one commin'

It suddenly snuck up on me

I can't say you didn't tell me so

I can't say you didn't warn me



Well I can't take the pain,

Knowing that I left you

And I can't bare the shame

Of knowing I was wrong

But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done

But I can't take the pain of leaving you alone

leaving you alone



I was there when they accused you

But I guess I was too affraid

Not just once, and not just twice

But three times I denied your name



Well I can't take the pain,

Knowing that I left you

And I can't bare the shame

Of knowing I was wrong

But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done

But I can't take the pain of leaving you alone

leaving you alone



I never thought I'd get

Even a second chance

But you've given that, and so much more

And then for every time I ever did deny,

You asked me if I love you

You know I do, Lord



So I'm off to follow in your steps

It won't be easy, it's safe to say

Only two roads I can walk on down

The one less traveled is the one you paved



But I can't take the pain,

Knowing that I left you

And I can't bare the shame

Of knowing I was wrong

But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done

But I can't take the pain of leaving you alone

leaving you alone



Lord, you took the pain

Even though I left you

And you took the shame, and you made it all your own

Why'd you take the blame for everything that I've done?

Lord, you took the pain, you and you alone



You and you alone.
