♪ Take all the courage you have left ♪
♪ Wasted on fixing all the problems that you made ♪
♪ In your own head ♪
♪ But it was not your fault but mine ♪
♪ And it was your heart on the line ♪
♪ I really fucked it up this time ♪
♪ Didn't I, my dear? ♪

♪ Your grace is wasted in your face ♪
♪ Your boldness stands alone among the wreck ♪
♪ Now learn from your mother ♪
♪ Or else spend your days biting your own neck ♪
♪ But it was not your fault but mine ♪
♪ And it was your heart on the line ♪
