House Full of Riches - 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

Were 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 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
