No, I didn't see this one coming It suddenly snuck up on me Well, I can't say You didn't tell me so Well, I can't say You didn't warn me Well, I can't take the pain of 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, of leaving You alone Well, I was there when they accused You But I guess I was too afraid Not just once and not just twice But three times I denied Your name Well, I can't take the pain of 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, of leaving You alone And 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 ask 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 There are only two roads I can walk on down The one less traveled is the one You paved Well, I can't take the pain of 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 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, You and You alone
