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 a child in a sty 
I play with vile 
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
