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, your lies, 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
   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 just 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
   I know, 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
