On the day you arrived
The bedroom curtains were drawn
All was still
The way you left it
Same number on the door
Easy come, easy go
What a way to treat your soul
Though I confess
Where once hearts rested
Now there's nothing
But a hole
So the prodigal returns
I guess the pleasure's not enough
Did he promise you the earth?
A world of beauty and the bluff
I tried to tend the garden
Until the flowers fell to weed
So now the place lies in a ruin
The way you lied and ruined me
Do I have the answer?
If I did I wouldn't know
So take it if you want it
If you don't
Then let it go
Fake leopard skin fur says it all
You never could be real
How I long to taste the secrets
From your land of phoney tears
You tried to be a movement
But there was no one on your side
Did you come back here to haunt me
Or to take me for a ride?
Do I have the answer?
If I did I wouldn't know
So take it if you want it
If you don't
Then let it go
But if you don't
Just let me know
If you don't
Take yourself away
I've been there once before
And I can't have you hurting me
Anymore
Do I have the answer?
If I did I wouldn't know
Take it if you want it
If you don't
Then let it go
But don't make me the one
Who made you feel like you should go
Just take it if you want it
If you don't
Then let it go
If you don't
Just let me know
I can't take anymore
