Half On the Side of the Leaver

Half on the side of the leaver
Even while I'm left behind
I thought I'd go crazy
I thought that these days would be filled with a rage that was blind

But I'm half on the side of the leaver
Who hasn't wanted to run?
Like Bonnie and Clyde
You root for the wrong side despite all the crimes that they've done

She offered the bread of her body and kisses like wine
She told me she'd love me like Jesus
And I got hooked on the lure of that line
Forever hers
But never mine

Half on the side of the leaver
Even while I'm blown apart
Sure I lay bleeding
But wasn't she needing
A much better man from the start?

Now I'm half on the side of the leaver
Why that should be I can't say
But true love's expression
Can betray your flesh and can make you do
Make you do things its own way

She offered the bread of her body and kisses like wine
She told me she'd love me like Jesus
And I got hooked on the lure of that line
For Heaven knows
She's so divine

Half on the side of the leaver
Half on the side of the leaver
Half on her side
