Hammer

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 your 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
