at night when I lie awake 
I feel your heart beat to survive 
you're a thousand miles away 
and I pray you're still alive 
I sent you a letter 
but they wouldn't let you read it 
and I sent food for you 
but they wouldn't let you eat it 

love, my leader, it's strange 
I saw you with her, and I changed 

you swore by your God 
that the truth would not burn 
you held your head up high 
as the verdict was returned 
you can't chew your food anymore 
or walk in a straight line 
but you stood up for us all 
as we waited for a sign 

love, my leader, it's strange 
I saw you with her, and I changed 
I led them to you, you see 
I hoped they'd break you, then me 

you never thought about your family 
or what this might do to us 
the boys, they try not to hate you 
but they've learned to tell lies and to cuss 
We wait for you... 

at night when I lie awake 
I try to imagine your cell 
I sleep on the cold hardwood 
and dream about your hell 
I wonder if you know 
I'm the one who turned you in 
I never thought they'd take you 
now I know my sin 

love, my leader, it's strange 
I saw you with her, and I changed 
I led them to you, you see 
I hoped they'd break you, then me
