[Verse 1]
Close the door, turn off the light
You'll never see the bloodshot eyes
'Cause you never come around
The pictures that had lined the hall
I smashed and threw against the wall
Yeah, I tore them all down
Because you never come around
[Pre-Chorus]
So maybe one day I can get the thought of you out of my head
[Chorus]
You got a lotta nerve to grab my heart and rip it out
You got a lotta nerve to show me what you're all about
You got a lotta nerve to love me then forget me like a bad dream
[Verse 2]
Traded me in hopes to find some happiness in one more line
Yeah, you had it figured out
Was there a hint of honesty in anything you said to me?
Yeah, I wrote it all down
So I could scream it out loud
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe one day I can hold it up above your pretty blonde head
[Chorus]
You got a lotta nerve to grab my heart and rip it out
You got a lotta nerve to show me what you're all about
You got a lotta nerve to love me then forget me like a bad dream
[Bridge]
Made me a promise that you'd try
You told me everything was gonna be fine again the second time
I hope it's not another lie
You figured it out, tore it all down
I locked it all up
So I could scream it out loud
[Chorus]
You got a lotta nerve to grab my heart and rip it out
You got a lotta nerve to show me what you're all about
You got a lotta nerve to love me then forget me like a bad dream
Like a bad dream
Like a bad dream
Like a bad dream
