[Verse 1]
I have secrets to keep
Flames that would need some tending
And these hopeless delights
They all have hopeless endings
I do not know what less I could ask for
So I will wait till whatever end

[Verse 2]
If I cannot have you
Then anyone will do
You want me almost enough
Almost enough to take me
You gave a name to my greatest pain and now
I will claim it to whatever end
Is all that I need
So grant me the rest I long for
Take me for what I am
For I cannot take this no more
Love doesn't die unless I will kill it
So I will go to whatever end

[Chorus]
I will burn all the hopes I was tending
Keep on walking the road never-ending
I will learn what I'm worth and I'll know that
I was not meant for someone like you
Should've known that the gown wouldn't be white
And the burden of you wouldn't be light
And for all that I do, I can't help it
You will not fall for someone like me

[Verse 3]
You come just like a storm
And wrap me around your finger
Add insult to my injury
And watch how the pain doth linger
You're still a thing to behold
But I'm not the one to hold you
Last time was the last time
I'll leave like a thief, I have to
Love doesn't die unless I will kill it
So I will go to whatever end

[Chorus]
I will burn all the hopes I was tending
Keep on walking the road never-ending
I will learn what I'm worth and I'll know that
I was not meant for someone like you
Should've known that the gown wouldn't be white
And the burden of you wouldn't be light
And for all that I do, I can't help it
You will not fall for someone like me
[Bridge]
You wouldn't hearken to my heart
You wouldn't open your arms
And I couldn't tear down all of your walls
I couldn't shine in your dark

[Chorus]
I will burn all the hopes I was tending
Keep on walking the road never-ending
I will learn what I'm worth and I'll know that
I was not meant for someone like you
Should've known that the gown wouldn't be white
And the burden of you wouldn't be light
And for all that I do, I can't help it
You will not fall for someone like me
Should've known that the gown wouldn't be white
And the burden of you wouldn't be light
And for all that I do, I can't help it
You will not fall for someone like me
