That's Not The Part Of Him You're Leaving - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)
Written by：Elvis Costello
I have a friend

She's just a friend

I tried to comfort and defend

I gave her what you might call advice

But nothing like that comes without a price

The rumour was a cruel surprise

And she dissolved before my eyes

I offered my hand and hers and mine entwined

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
