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 bear 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 bear 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 bear 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.
