Had a house full of riches
Expresses possession of material wealth in a house.
Threw it all away

I'm not a worthy man
The speaker considers himself unworthy, possibly reflecting on personal shortcomings.
No matter what you say
Despite external opinions, the speaker maintains his perceived lack of worthiness.
I promise forever
The speaker made a promise of eternal commitment.
And left without a word
Left abruptly and without explanation.
I'm not a worthy man
Reiterates the speaker's sense of unworthiness.
No matter what you've heard
Regardless of rumors or information, the speaker believes in his lack of worth.
My mind and my spirit
Describes the sharpness and strength of the speaker's mind and spirit.
Were sharp and strong
Despite these qualities, the speaker discarded them.
I threw it all away
Questions where the speaker went wrong in his actions.
Tell me where did I go wrong
Reflects on the moments that were pure but regrets throwing them away.
But the purest of those moments
Emotional impact on the speaker is profound and piercing.
Pierce me through and through
The speaker feels a sense of longing and hopelessness regardless of his efforts.
Wistful and hopeless
Expresses internal struggle and the inability to change the situation.
No matter what I do
Acknowledges the presence of inner demons causing trouble.
Somewhere within this heart of mine
Refers to an inner conflict within the speaker's heart.
Demons are working overtime
Suggests that negative forces are particularly active.
Would that I ruled by sweet, sweet fate
Expresses a desire to be guided by fate rather than facing difficult choices.
Never facing the choice I made
Regrets the decisions made and the consequences faced as a result.
I had a love of such beauty
Recalls a love characterized by extraordinary beauty.
I just can't describe
The speaker struggles to articulate the profound beauty of the love lost.
I threw it all away
Reiterates the act of discarding something valuable without understanding why.
I could not tell you why
The speaker is unable to provide a reason for his actions.
But I remember her laughing
Recollection of a moment when the beloved was joyous and bathed in sunlight.
Drenched in summer sun
The speaker emphasizes his perceived unworthiness despite the positive memories.
I'm not a worthy man
Reflects on the missed opportunity to become a worthy person.
But I could have been one
Despite regrets, the speaker acknowledges the potential for positive change.
Somewhere within this heart of mine
Repeats the idea of inner demons causing distress.
Demons are working overtime
Reiterates the intensified activity of negative forces within.
Would that I ruled by sweet, sweet fate
Expresses a wish to be guided by fate rather than facing life-altering choices.
Never facing the choice I made
Continues the theme of regret for past decisions and their consequences.
I threw it all away
Reiterates the act of discarding valuable elements without understanding.
Threw it all away
Repeats the regretful act of discarding everything valuable.
She come s to me only in the hours before I wake
The beloved appears only in the speaker's subconscious, emphasizing her absence.
