Bad Leaver

Don’t consider me a bad leaver
‘though I’m burnin’ down this town
I don’t wanna be a bad leaver
‘though I’m burnin’ it down….
…down right to the ground

Why do you call this a crime?
I wasted money, wasted time,
I took all that was your’s away
and then I just called it a day…

Don’t consider me a bad leaver
‘though I made you my scapegoat
I don’t wanna be a bad leaver
‘though I’m abandoning…
abandoning this sinkin’ boat

I don’t know why I can’t stop lyin’
please beleive me, I’be been tryin’
to tell the truth once in a while
but somehow that’s just not my style

Don’t consider me a bad leaver
‘though I buried you alive
I don’t wanna be a bad leaver
‘though I left you no chance…
…no chance to survive

‘though I’m a coward and a thief
I stare at you in disbelief
I thought that I was going strong
now you tell me I’m doin’ wrong
