Written by Duncan Sheik



Had a house full of riches
Threw it all away
I’m not a worthy man
No matter what you say
I promised forever
And left without a word
I’m not a worthy man
No matter what you’ve heard

My mind and my spirit
Where sharp and strong
I threw it all away
Tell me where did I go wrong?
But the purest of those moments
Pierce me through and through...
Wistful and hopeless...
No matter what I do

Somewhere within this heart of mine
Demons are working overtime
Would that I were ruled by sweet, sweet fate
Never facing the choice I made

I had a love of such beauty
I just can’t describe
I threw it all away
I could not tell you why
But I remember her laughing
Drenched in summer sun
I’m not a worthy man
But I could have been one...

Somewhere within this heart of mine
Demons are working overtime
Would that I were ruled by sweet, sweet fate
Never facing the choice I made...
I threw it all away...
Threw it all away...

She comes to me only in the hours before I wake
