Oh, I'm breathless
From walking so long
How long has it been
Will I see you again?
Is it pointless?
I know how it ends
We know we all die
And yet we pretend
Is it worth all the time?
Is it worth every tear?
Am I hopelessly chasing
A dream that'll never be near?
Yeah, recently I've been thinking
Wondering what does it all mean
You say my life is like a movie
But it feels like a dream
Why do we burn?
Like a candle at both ends?
Can you tell me again
When will it end?
Why do we burn?
Keep on working and yearning
Hopelessly think we're earning
Anything at all
Why do we burn?
So intense and passionately
Because in the end
It all becomes nothing
Why do we burn?
We all return to stardust
But we're caught up in the fuss
The chaos of life
Oh they say
Life is so wonderful
Life is so beautiful
Life is a gift
But I'm scared
What happens when it ends
Tell me where do we go
Oh, if I had one wish...
I wish I could take one moment
I wish I could take one breath
Finally be proud of the things that I did
In life before my death
Am I fooling myself?
Am I just a fool?
Am I kidding myself?
What do I know?
Do I know anything, anything at all?
I'll never know
I'll never know
Until it's the end
Until it's the end
So for now I will choose to live
I will burn, like a candle at both ends
Oh I hope this adventure never ends
I will burn, keep on working and yearning
Hopelessly think I'm earning
Anything at all
I will burn
So intense and passionately
Because in the end
It all becomes nothing
I will burn, we all return to stardust
But I'm swept up in the fuss
I love the chaos of life
So you tell me
Oooh, oooh, oooh
Is it a dream?
Oooh, oooh, ooh
I will burn
Cause we all become stardust
Swept up in the fuss
I love
The chaos
Of life
