burn my clothes, bury my crown

[Verse 1]

How loud would I have to scream

To make a sound, to let you know?

And how tenderly would I have to whisper

That it's ok, that we can go?

But how cold the touch of your tongue

Your weighted words make no sound

[Verse 2]

But how violent must my loneliness become

To burn my clothes, bury my crown?

'Cause would it be enough for you to love me

And would I be enough for you?

[Verse 3]

How reckless is the heart that bleeds for love

That knows the warmth, that knows the taste?

And how blessed is the diamond in the rough

Who would offer her embrace?

And how foolishly the lonely mind can wander

And blinding lights falling down

And I'm sorry that I didn't tell you sooner

So burn my clothes, and burn my crown

[Outro]

'Cause would it be enough for you to love me?

Oh no, it wouldn't

I'd never be enough for you
