It came out like a funeral dirge
In loud refrains that skip the verse
Spoken slow Without a change of heart
From awkward thoughts that won't relent
These selfish words weren't heaven sent but
Responding with this silence to depart
I lost my nerve, I lost it all
I couldn't answer when you called
Although you wanted us to crawl and kiss your feet
I couldn't see, but I still cared
So when you left us standing there
Unresolved and unprepared, I just observed
I lost my nerve, yeah
Polluting every star filled night
More smoke beyond these neon lights
Coming back to watch this slowly burn
With nothing much left on display
All beds we make and never lay in
Holding out, you'll see how much it hurts
I lost my nerve, I lost it all
I couldn't answer when you called
Although you wanted us to crawl and kiss your feet
I couldn't see, but I still cared
So when you left us standing there
Unresolved and unprepared, I just observed
I lost my nerve, yeah
If nothing here was meant to last
Then how long will this take to pass?
One more lifetime spent for me to learn
I lost my nerve, I lost it all
I couldn't answer when you called
Although you wanted us to crawl and kiss your feet
I couldn't see, but I still cared
So when you left us standing there
Unresolved and unprepared, I just observed
I lost my nerve, yeah
I lost my nerve, yeah
I lost my nerve, I lost it all
I couldn't answer when you called
I lost my nerve, I lost my nerve, I lost my nerve
