Crown Heavy

The crown, it's too heavy now

I climbed so high just to feel this alone
Every step echoed, but no one came home

The throne room is silent, the echoes are cold
I reached for their hands, but they turned into gold
That weighs down my shoulders, that blinds my tired eyes
Everyone left when I started to rise

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
But heavier still when no one's around
I chose this isolation, this glittering cage
Now I'm just a shadow on an empty stage

Crown heavy, it's slipping from my grasp
Throne lonely, the silence is too vast
They wanted the glory but left me the pain

Crown heavy, crushing what's left of my reign (what's left)
Everyone wants to wear the crown (the crown)
Nobody wants to see me break down
Crown heavy, throne cold, I'm fading alone
This weight is my prison, my heart turns to stone

The jewels mock me with their lifeless shine
I sacrificed everything just to be divine
Friends became strangers, love turned to dust
Trust shattered like glass under all of this rust
Now the advisors whisper of my fragile hold
The queen who conquered but lost her own soul

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
But heavier still when no one's around
I chose this isolation, this glittering cage
Now I'm just a shadow on an empty stage

Crown heavy, it's slipping from my grasp
Throne lonely, the silence is too vast
They wanted the glory but left me the pain
Crown heavy, crushing what's left of my reign
(Crushing me)
Everyone wants to wear the crown (the crown)
Nobody wants to see me break down
Crown heavy, throne cold, I'm fading alone
This weight is my prison, my heart turns to stone

I thought the view would heal all the scars
But up here the wind just tears at the stars
Sometimes I reach for the girl I left behind
Wishing I'd never claimed this throne of mine

The crown chose wrong
Or maybe I did

Crown heavy, it's slipping from my grasp
Throne lonely, the silence is too vast
They wanted the glory but left me the pain

Crown heavy, crushing what's left of my reign
(Crushing me)
Everyone wants to wear the crown (the crown)
Nobody stays when I finally break down
Crown heavy, throne cold, I'm lost on my own
This weight broke my throne

Crown, heavy
