Oleander

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 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
