Words I heard from a friend 
These things you said 
The nerve 
Passed on from you to her then to me 
I can’t believe the nerve 
It’s what’s changed you for me 
And then it fell like rain 
That covered your face again 
Now you’ll never know that I knew 

Let’s both misunderstand 
And circumvent a scene 
It’s just easier if we both swallow the key 

Save yourself the long way out 
There’s no way around the nerve 
Save your time for the long ride home 
And I, I can’t believe the nerve 
The nerve… 

I heard from a friend 
These lies you spread 
The words 
Moved on from you to her then to me 
I can’t believe the nerve 
It’s what’s saved me from you 
And then it felt like blame 
That covers your face again. 
Now you’ll never know that I knew 
Let’s both misunderstand 
And circumvent a scene 
It’s just easier if we both swallow the key 

Save yourself the long way out 
There’s no way around the nerve 
Save your time for the long ride home 
And I, I can’t believe the nerve 
The nerve… 

Let’s fix this 
She said «Who cares» 
Let the facts speak anyway 
She said «Who cares» 
Let the facts speak through this lie 

The nerve
The nerve
The nerve
Let’s fix this 
The nerve
The nerve
The nerve
