(Verse 1)
If my kingdom burned to dust
Would you still love me?
Would you still hold me?
Or would you leave me behind?
Turn and run
If my honour burst in flames
Would you still want me?
Would you come rescue me?
Or let me torch in these ashes I've made

(Chorus)
If I were nothing
Just a poor man, a wanderer
Would you still love me?
Or is this some twisted game?
Use me
As long as I offer
Something you're needing
And love just to take away

(Verse 2)
If my health was wearing thin
Would you take care of me?
Would you comfort me?
Or let these flames engulf all of my skin?
If my body turned to stone
Would you live for me?
Would you think of me?
Or let my memory get scorched by the wind?
(Chorus)
If I were nothing
Just a poor man, a wanderer
Would you still love me?
Or is this some twisted game?
Use me
As long as I offer
Something you're needing
And love just to take away
Do you love just to take away?

(Bridge)
Why do I question?
You've done nothing wrong
Still, I'm feeling
You might be a fraud
Why can't I trust now
Not a single soul?
Who've I become now
I don't even know

(Outro)
Don't let me burn
Don't let me burn, oh
Don't let me burn, no
Don't let me burn, ah
