I got everything I wanted
Funny how quiet
A kingdom can be
I used to dream in empty rooms
Of marble halls and better views
I swore someday they'd know my name
I'd make kingdom from the pain
So I turned every loss to gold
Learned to smile and carry on
Now every room belongs to me
But everyone I loved is gone
I climbed so high
I lost the ground
And somewhere on the way up
I stopped looking down
Bury me with my crown
Don't take it off me now
I paid for every jewel
With a piece I can't get back somehow
Bury me with my crown
Let the whole thing burn around
If this is what it means to be a king
Then lay me me in the ground
Bury me with my crown
I learned that victory has rules
When no one celebrates with you
The table stretches wall to wall
But I don't hear a voice at all
I kept the promises I made
To someone younger in my face
He wanted everything I have
I wonder what he'd say today
Bury me with my crown
It's too late to leave it now
Every thorn beneath the metal
Grew until it reached my heart
Bury me with my crown
I don't need forgiveness now
If the throne was worth the people that I lost
Then why do I want them back?
Bury me with my crown
I throught
I'd feel different
When the door's finally open
I throught I'd become someone
The old me could be proud of
But success doesn't ressurect
And money doesn't remember
And a throne cannot hold you
When December feels like December
Maybe I didn't want the kingdom
Maybe I just wanted proof
That everything I went through
Would let me somewhere beaultful
So don't call this a tragedy
I chose every road
I carried every consequence
I watched every bridge burn slow
And if I had another lifetime
God I'd probably do it again
Not because the crown was worth it
But because I became
Who I am
So bury me with my crown
Leave every scar where it was found
I paid for every jewel
And I'd pay for every one again somehow
Bury me with my crown
When they finally lay me down
I was never born a king
I just survive
Long enough to wear the crown
Bury me
Bury me
With my crown
Bury me
With my crown
