If I could love and leave you,
I'd be leaving you breathless
Little cyclonic me,
rushing through your space
You'd search your head for logic,
reviewing conversation
I would be your rescuer and
your devastation
And I have found a space
within my needs
And I have tried to fill it in with
carelessness and greed
Choosing not to hold your hand
Nonetheless,
here I stand in front of you
Naked in demand
If I could love and leave you
I'd be tangled in your sheets
Guzzling every drop of wine
And choking on my grief
And I would paint your name
And rhyme in every single song
But here I am in
mellow deep
Wishing I were gone,
gone
Baby, don't you know that I confess
I'm more than a troubled soul
In a troubled dress,
the tables turn and I grow weak
All my secrets you keep
as ammunition
Shoot and punch me weak
If I could love and leave you,
well I wouldn't need to stay
I could make you beg for
more and slowly back away
Sometimes I think I can do
it and I almost believe it
Yeah, I would be something else
If I could love and leave you
You
