I shine like the sun
I'm on fire right now
Your tears have come too late
You break down the door
There's already nothing
I've only one heart to take
I've got all of what you're crying for now
Your tears have come too late
You break down the door
There's already nothing
I'd only one heart to break
You're crawling on the floor like a fool
And I'm so high on cruel
You'll drown in the light
And I'll burn like a star
Your tears are gonna give me fuel
Pray that your happy
And the years they fall away
Well, I've learned a lesson
So don't ask me to stay...
