If you leave me now It's not that I can't take it It's just that somehow I think you'd break it So much beyond repair Like pulling out my hair And poisoning the roots A gun that never shoots again And if you leave me now And take him deep within your throne Like you did when you were coming home And you did again in Mexico And again before you go And I believed your lies
So turn and walk away I've overspoken Said all that I can say I know that I can kneel And I could cry I could show you how I died But what good would it do? Give the world another fool
If you're gonna stay Don't just say it Stay, really stay I don't want any more goodbyes Any more disguise No more tossing coins Or him between your loins And if you're gonna stay I'll place you high upon a hill And with my hands I'll build a tower in your name And you will do the same Won't you my love? Won't you my love? Won't you my love?
Or turn and walk away I've overspoken Said all that I can say I know that I can kneel And kiss your feet Walk ahead and clear the street So you don't have to meet But what good would it do Give the world another fool
Turn and walk away I've overspoken Now what more can I say? I know that I can kneel And I can cry Hell i know That I can show you how I died Now what good would it do Give the world another fool Just sitting on this stool I'm close to giving up on you
