Leaving Side of Love

I am the woman with the horse's mane Who likes to run and who never came Around to your point of view And while looking straight at you I call someone else's name But you love me 'cause you need me And I don't need anyone You love me 'cause you feed me And I eat out of your hand At least until my hunger is done You'll be the cure for all that ails me And I'll be the poison in your blood You'll be my heart but when it fails me Just like it always does Then you'll know the leaving Side of love Now I ain't saying I been around But I got a name 'round town Maybe not this town or the last one But I broke a man in half once He didn't even make a sound I can't help the way I am I can't help the way I act I am the scorpion in the story And we're both gonna drown As long as I'm sitting on your back You are the cure for all that ails me And I am the poison in your blood You are my heart, but when it fails me Just like it always does Then you'll know the leaving Side of love So I leave you beneath the streetlights Watch them shine on your tears Though you know better every word Sounds like gospel sounds like birdsong Loving every lie you hear I say I might be back down the line Baby I'll be thinking about you all the time But the truth is I can't be fixed Was never whole to begin with We're terminal and so am I You were the cure for all that ailed me And I'm still the poison in your blood You were be my heart, but then it failed me Just like it always does Now you know the leaving Side of love You were my heart But then it failed me Just like it always does I am the leaving side of love
