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
Yes, 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
And I know that I could show you how I died
But what good would it do?
Give the world another fool

So, 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
Yes, 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 just turn and walk away
I've overspoken
Now 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 him
But what good would it do?
Give the world another fool

Turn and walk away
I've overspoken
Now what more can I say?
And I know that I can kneel
And I can cry
Man, I know that I can show you how I died
What good would it do?
Give the world another fool
Sitting on this stool
I'm close to giving up on you
