You stood beside me when I was out of my mind

I broke the glass and you were there to sweep it aside

And if you leave me

Rest assured, it would kill me

I make a mess

And you'll be there to help me undress

I'll be unclean, I'll be obscene

You'll be the rest

And if you leave me

Rest assured, it would kill me

Like an oleander

White, white leaves

Of an oleander

White like me

I'm like the child in a sty

I play with fire, I burn you right out

I burned your Bible

You tried to cry, put on a smile

And if you leave me

Rest assured, it would kill me

Rest assured, if you leave

Like an oleander

White, white leaves

Of an oleander

White like me

Of the oleander

White, white leaves

Of an oleander

White like me
