Thrown into the fire like a widow's child

I step into the road as the valley burns

I just wanted to believe in something beautiful

Hunger by a streetlight, I see no more

The apple of your eye was a falling star

I just wanted to believe in something beautiful.

I am just an orphan to your touch

I never wanted to go

Still I am just an orphan to your touch.

See the back of home as you cut your hair

Take a path of threads of a lullaby

I just wanted to believe in something beautiful

Tailor-made and hung by a knowing smile

I wear it as a mask 'til I lose my pride

I just wanted to believe in something beautiful.

I am just an orphan to your touch

I never wanted to go

Still I am just an orphan to your touch.

Thrown into the fire

Oh, don't leave me till it's over

Thrown into the fire

Oh, don't leave me till it's over.

Thrown into the fire

Oh, don't leave me till it's over

Thrown into the fire

Oh, don't leave me till it's over.

I am just an orphan to your touch

Another one you do go

Still I am just an orphan to your touch.
