The Crown You Dropped

What would I do without your hollow heart?
Drawing me in, then tearing us apart
You've got a talent for the perfect lie
While I was building castles in the sky
I treated you like royalty, my soul was your throne
I built a life for us, but I built it alone
I gave you the world, I gave you my name
But you found a thrill in a different game

How could you trade the gold for the dust?
How could you break the holiest trust?
I was your king, you were my everything
But you threw away the diamond in your ring

‘Cause all of me, gave all to you
But you chose the wrong, you chose the untrue
I gave you my soul, my light, and my life
But you traded the crown for the edge of a knife
Yeah, you chose to stray, you chose to deceive
And now you're the one with nothing but grief

But the world kept spinning while I found my breath
I survived the ghost of our love's slow death
I looked in the mirror, saw a man I forgot
Stripped off the weight of the lies that you brought
I'm stronger now, my vision is clear
The man you wanted is finally here
But he's not for you, he's not for your games
I've burned the ashes of both of our names

I'm leaner, I'm faster, I'm finally free
The version of me you didn't want to see
Is the man I've become, the man that I am
I finally found worth without your: Damn”
Everything you wanted, everything you missed
Is now a ghost that no longer exists
For you

‘Cause all of me, belongs to me now
I'm standing tall, I'm taking my bow
The king you betrayed has found a new land
With a stronger heart and a steady hand
And all the love you wasted, all the devotion you spurned
Is a lesson for a heart that finally learned
That the man I am now, with a spirit so true
Is going to give it all to someone who isn't you

Yeah, someone who isn't you
I was your king
But I'm my own man now
