Lyrics & Translation

[English]

If I held in my hands everything gold could buy

I'd still not have a thing worth giving you

You tell me the sun is shining in paradise

And I have to watch your lips turn blue

I would burn the world to bring some heat to you

I would burn the world to bring some heat to you

I would burn the world to bring some heat

You are the reason I went through it, oh

The only meaning as I knew it, my-yeah

And I can only do my best, I do not do this for myself

I'd walk through hell on living feet for you

I wouldn't be seen walking through any door

Some place that you're not welcome to

You stare at the faces smiling from somewhere warm

From some place, the sunlight won't come through

I would burn the world to bring some heat to you

I would burn the world to bring some heat to you

I would burn the world to bring some heat

You are the reason I went through it, oh

The only meaning as I knew it, my-yeah

And I can only do my best, I do not do this for myself

I'd walk through hell on living feet for you

I would burn the world to bring some heat to you

I would burn the world to bring some heat to you

I would burn the world to bring some heat
