You never think your lovers words could kill you And you cant for see the blow that is your last But youve brought me to my knees with a blow that I believe Has somehow paralyzed my need for fighting back I cant pretend that they dont know your secret And I cant pretend that I dont know it too I can hear the people talking, I can feel their pity eyes Dare I say the fault is really mine Dare I say the fault is mine I wish I could tell you I love you still I gave you the hammer But I didnt know that you would strike to kill Youre quite as I stutter over questions Whose answers I dont really want to know Did you whisper that you loved her, Drop your kisses on her neck And with determination, down the wine There will always be another and another choice to make Another chance to justify the crime, Another chance to choose the crime I wish I could tell you I love you still I gave you the hammer But I didnt know that you would strike to kill
