I knew he loved you long before that night I drove you home His pictures of you hung on every tree But the times I've seen you with him you were never more alone And he's with you now as much as he can be You must have seen him sinking It was you put out to sea But no drowning man will help you When you struggle to get free As a child I hated circuses I don't like to see him here He has your special ringside seat reserved He can make you lose your memory, he can make you disappear When the lights come up you're shaken and unnerved But you always let yourself believe him When he says that love makes him this hard Do you think he will ever be far away When all his world is your yard You say that if you left him he would shatter And you couldn't let him die like that But is there nothing in yourself that matters Can't you see how far from whole he makes you Can you love him when your days are strained and cracking like a whip Is it refuge that you find in his anger Must you be the lifeboat chained to his sinking ship I wonder is it you or him is stranger How bad must it be for you to leave him How badly must you be scarred You know he will never be far away When all his world is your yard
