[Verse 1] Go on, take your silence Take that cold look from your eyes I have run out of patience For the way you turn the tide I was good to you, baby I came to you with respect But your anger for another Came and landed on my chest [Pre-Chorus] And I won’t stand here paying For a debt I never made I won’t be the one you punish When the hurt won’t say its name [Chorus] I had every right to tell you Back off that subject I had every right to say Don’t put that on me This is not the way you do somebody Who’s been good to you This is not the way you do somebody Who still comes through [Verse 2] Go away and pout now Be angry if you need But don’t call that love, baby When you turn your back on me I checked with you first I gave you your place Then you took that little moment And you threw it in my face [Pre-Chorus] I don’t mind your sorrow I don’t mind your pain But I won’t be the shelter For every passing rain [Chorus] I had every right to tell you Back off that subject I had every right to say Don’t put that on me This is not the way you do somebody Who’s been good to you This is not the way you do somebody Who still comes through [Bridge] I don’t deserve the distance I don’t deserve the cold I don’t deserve to carry What was never mine to hold I was standing right beside you I was trying to be fair But you made me the guilty one For simply being there [Final Chorus] I had every right to tell you Back off that subject I had every right to say Don’t put that on me This is not the way you do somebody Who’s been good to you This is not the way you do somebody Who still comes through [Outro] Go on with your silence Go on with your pride But I don’t deserve it No, not this time I don’t deserve it I really don’t deserve it Not this time Not this time
