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.
