I envy your youth. You live like a storm
And I'm just an old man, who's there to drive you home
Someday you're gonna meet the man of your dreams
I can say, That it isn't me. Cause I'm no good for you

Take it from me
A king, whose castles were made out of clay
Well, I had it all. And I threw it away
And finally I'll do the right thing for once in my life
I hate to have to watch you walk away
I'm no good for you. I'm no good for you

Please just sit with me for a while
Tonight is the night that we confess to all our crimes
And, something's gotta give cause it's take take take
And you're not gonna like, what I have to say
But I'm no good for you

Take it from me. A king, whose castles
were made out of clay
Well, I had it all. And I threw it away
Take it from me, a saint
Who hurt the one that he tried to save
and I love you enough
To walk away

And finally I, do the right thing for once in my life
I hate to have to watch you walk away
But I'm no good for you
Someday, someone will make you laugh
the way you used to
And you'll find, you'll find
That this is for the best, and you will learn how to smile
Being alone, but just for a while
Try to understand, that you will love again

Take it from me. A king, whose castles
were made out of clay
Well, I had it all. And I threw it away
Take it from me, a saint
Who hurt the one that he tried to save
and I love you enough
To walk away. Cause I'm no good for you
