Love is like a tyranny.

And I'm a tyrant sentencing.

You said that you believed in me

and would burn for your beliefs.



I watched you burn,

burn for me.

I watched you burn,

burn for me.



Love's some kind of sorcery,

an inquisition's questioning.

You said that you believed in me

and to take you on some time.

You said that you believed in me

and would burn for your beliefs.



I watched you burn.

I watched you burn for me.

I watched you burn,

burn for me.



But now I wonder how

I stood by and I let you down.

But maybe I couldn't see

that you would burn for me.

You were strong and clever

and I didn't know any better.



. . . didn't know any better.

I could have set you free

but I watched you burn.

I could have set you free

but I watched you burn.

Yeah, I could have set you free

but I watched you burn.
