Gave it all to burn forever underneath the rain Drowning in the present of a past that I couldn't change Writing songs instead of letters because I'm too afraid Afraid of coming back to find that everything is the same I made my way through hell again, I'll pay for my mistakes Next time I think I'll stay a while and pour myself a drink When I return I'll look for you so listen for your name If you can make it out above the roaring of the flames If this a mask you want then it's a mask that you will get But when I take it off remember that you asked for this I tore myself apart to give you all that I could give Don't think that I will let it go, don't think that I'll forget I thought I wanted legacy, I thought I wanted fame I didn't know I'd lose all my loved ones in exchange Left them all behind again for that I am ashamed But that's a price I'll pay until I'm buried in my pain Gave it all to burn forever underneath the rain Drowning in the present of a past that I couldn't change Writing songs instead of letters because I'm too afraid Afraid of coming back to find that everything is the same I'll do it all over again from the start And this time you're not leaving me in the dark You took me for granted now that I'm where you are Atop of a kingdom you built on your own I thought I wanted legacy, I thought I wanted fame I didn't know I'd lose all my loved ones in exchange Left them all behind again for that I am ashamed But that's a price I'll pay until I'm buried in my pain I'll do it all over again from the start And this time you're not leaving me in the dark You took me for granted now that I'm where you are Atop of a kingdom you built on your own I'll do it all over again from the start
