Verse 1
I ask & beg & plead with you to open up to me,
I need to know a reason why you wanted to be free,
If I was so neglectful you only had to say,
A little basic kindness would have gone a long, long way ,

Verse 2
A little respect for all the years,
We've walked together and apart,
A little word to let me know,
Before stranger held your heart,

Chorus:
Does the answer really matter the end result is still the same,
A splinter going through my heart and you're to blame,
Does the answer really matter, the end result is still the same,
The blame is yours but the shame is mine, and it will always be this way,

Verse 3
My tears can't seem to reach that place in you I always felt was mine,
How can a soul be lost, but a heart still beat in such an anguished time,
I have to find the courage to take the next step on,
But something pulls me back each time and I know I can't go on,

Verse 4
I need to find a place in me,
That says I am okay,
You let a stranger in your heart,
How could you give it all away,

Chorus:
Does the answer really matter the end result is still the same,
A splinter going through my heart and you're to blame,
Does the answer really matter, the end result is still the same,
The blame is yours but the shame is mine, and it will always be this way,
