To Whatever End - The Dark Element

I have secrets to keep

Flames that would need some tending

And these hopeless delights

They all have hopeless endings

I do not know what less I could ask for

So I will wait till whatever end

If I cannot have you

Then anyone will do

You want me almost enough

Almost enough to take me

You gave a name to my greatest pain and now

I will claim it to whatever end

Is all that I need

So grant me the rest I long for

Take me for what I am

For I cannot take this no more

Love doesn’t die unless I will kill it

So I will go to whatever end

I will burn all the hopes I was tending

Keep on walking the road never-ending

I will learn what I’m worth and I’ll know that

I was not meant for someone like you

Should’ve known that the gown wouldn’t be white

And the burden of you wouldn’t be light

And for all that I do, I can’t help it

You will not fall for someone like me

You come just like a storm

And wrap me around your finger

Add insult to my injury

And watch how the pain doth linger

You’re still a thing to behold

But I’m not the one to hold you

Last time was the last time

I’ll leave like a thief, I have to

Love doesn’t die unless I will kill it

So I will go to whatever end

I will burn all the hopes I was tending

Keep on walking the road never-ending

I will learn what I’m worth and I’ll know that

I was not meant for someone like you

Should’ve known that the gown wouldn’t be white

And the burden of you wouldn’t be light

And for all that I do, I can’t help it

You will not fall for someone like me

You wouldn’t hearken to my heart

You wouldn’t open your arms

And I couldn’t tear down all of your walls

I couldn’t shine in your dark

I will burn all the hopes I was tending

Keep on walking the road never-ending

I will learn what I’m worth and I’ll know that

I was not meant for someone like you

Should’ve known that the gown wouldn’t be white

And the burden of you wouldn’t be light

And for all that I do, I can’t help it

You will not fall for someone like me

Should’ve known that the gown wouldn’t be white

And the burden of you wouldn’t be light

And for all that I do, I can’t help it

You will not fall for someone like me
