The Leaver and the Left

i don't know if you're safe now
i don't know if i mind
if i was two years older
i would have keep you mine
you were free to leave
but please remember when
by searching for heaven
i've built myself a home
all night long with him
like a strong glory
when you howled
i'm free

i don't know if he's brighter
i don't know if i mind
if i was a bit stronger
he would have stayed behind
you were free to leave
it's not as if i mind
but please remember when
i've built myself your home
all night long with him
like a strong glory
when you howled
with glee

it's easier to pretend that we could be friends
when you're the leaver, not the left
it's easier to pretend that it could be different
when you're the winner, not the left
