You never understood the heart's true measure,
You never understood the heart's true measure.
Desires unbidden? That is not the case,
Desires unbidden? That is not the case.
Smoke was all that anyone could see, no flame,
Smoke was all that anyone could see, no flame.
No heart consumes itself in such a way,
No heart consumes itself in such a way.
Beneath beauty's veil, how many stars reside,
Beneath beauty's veil, how many stars reside.
Is one of them mine? Or do they all evade?
Fill my chest with all your pain, I pray,
Fill my chest with all your pain, I pray.
This burden, borne alone, it cannot stay,
This burden, borne alone, it cannot stay.
This burden, borne alone, it cannot stay.
You move beyond my arms, you start to flee,
You move beyond my arms, you start to flee.
But there's no world ahead, it cannot be,
But there's no world ahead, it cannot be.
You never understood the heart's true measure,
You never understood the heart's true measure.
