From the album "Inappropriate Touching"
Written by Leigh Harrison © APRA 2002

lyrics

Leave me alone
But don't leave me alone

Hi ... so you're home
Are you happy today?
I'm nervous alone,
Scared that you'll make me pay

You don't tell me in words,
You never could say
Why you need to be cruel
When you love me this way
This way
This way

I don't want to feel
The firm slap of your hand
The kiss of your kick
The warmth of your cigarette stubbed on my skin

I don't want to know
That our love's still alive
Through the bruises and blood
And the caring caress of your fist on my ribs

Leave me alone
But don't leave me alone

Then when you have gone
And I crawl to the phone
I tell them I tripped
While at home all alone

I'll tell them I slipped
And I injured myself
Banging my head
On the edge of that shelf
That shelf
That shelf

I don't want to leave but I don't want to stay
I don't like the pain when you love me this way
I know it's my fault, I know it's not you
I have the problem, it's your love that's true

Leave me alone
But don't leave me alone

They ask why I stay
When it happens again
And again and again
And again and again

I say I don't know
How I could survive
Without you beside me
To keep me alive
Alive
Alive

Anything's better than ... better than
Anything's better than ... better than
Anything's better than leaving
