lyrics

Verse:
I'm the flame that draws you in
It's a game we play
Caught in the light of the lies that we say
Oh the games we play

Pre-chorus:
How I'd love to take you
And make you king for a day
I'd break you anyway
Though I try to convince you
That I'm your queen, but you're my prey
I'd break you anyway

Chorus
I didn't mean to lie to you
I didn't mean to cry to you
I didn't mean to burn so bright, no
I didn't mean to set fire to your heart

Verse:
If you're the good in this fairytale,
Oh, how fiction is strange,
They say that love is about forgiveness,
Do I forgive myself?
Cos I'll break you anyway

Pre-chorus:
Cos I'd love to take you
And make you king for a day
But I'd break you anyway
Though I try to convince you
That I'm your queen, but you're my prey
I'd break you anyway

Chorus
I didn't mean to lie to you
I didn't mean to cry to you
I didn't mean to burn so bright, no
I didn't mean to set fire to your heart

Bridge:
You may haunt me but I'll keep pushing
You won't change me, no I'll keep burning
Time makes me guilty, but I'll keep burning on
You didn't need to get so close

Chorus
I didn't mean to lie to you
I didn't mean to cry to you
I didn't mean to burn so bright, no
I didn't mean to set fire to your heart
