Sometimes I feel like I'm ready for my grave
A sense that what was lost can never be saved
Self-loathing and regret are the price I pay
To be the fool who would be king for a day
I've waited here for you for so very long
Questioning myself as to where I went wrong
Nobody ever told me what to do
I came to hate myself just for loving you
I always thought that you'd be mine someday
I never dreamed you'd drift so far away
Separated by a raging sea
I'm getting high on my own misery
Now that it's over and the dream is dead
Perhaps it was always just in my head
I never dreamed life could be so damn cruel
To love you is to play the part of the fool
Now that the sun is black and the sky's on fire
Ignited by your touch and fuelled by my desire
I see your face in every flame
In winter's howl, I hear your name
I take this crown of thorns and do what is required
You are my everything
And everything that I do
I do for you
