I thought about back then when I wished that she could be mine
There's no use in shedding any tears
He's no good to you the way he is
He's gone beyond forgiving and believing
Half of his heart is torn like paper
It's sweet as the syrup from the maple
But that's not the part of him you're leaving
In time they're bound to wonder why
It's just a thrill you can't deny
I offered my shoulder right away
Now people will talk about what I can't say
And yet the whispers still persist
They're getting harder to resist
How am I supposed to stop loving you now I've begun
And sorry for what I might do more than what I have done
There's no use in shedding any tears
He's no good to you the way he is
He's gone beyond forgiving and believing
Half of his heart is filled with pain
That's sweet as a lick of sugarcane
But that's not the part of him you're leaving
Love is a many splintered thing
That only cuts roses and ribbons that cling
But that's not the part of him you're leaving
