Kingdom of Cards

Gave it all to burn forever underneath the rain

Drowning in the present of a past that I couldn't change

Writing songs instead of letters because I'm too afraid

Afraid of coming back to find that everything is the same

I made my way through hell again, I paid for my mistakes

Next time I think I'll stay awhile and pour myself a drink

When I return, I'll look for you, so listen for your name

If you can make it out above the roaring of the flames

If it's the mask you want, then it's the mask that you will get

But when I take it off remember that you asked for this

I tore myself apart to give you all that I could give

Don't think that I will let it go, don't think that I'll forget

I thought I wanted legacy, I thought I wanted fame

I didn't know I'd lose all my loved ones in exchange

Left them all behind and yeah for that I am ashamed

But that's the price I'm paying 'til I'm buried in my grave

Gave it all to burn forever underneath the rain

Drowning in the present of a past that I couldn't change

Writing songs instead of letters because I'm too afraid

Afraid of coming back to find that everything is the same

I'll do it all over again from the start

And this time you're not leaving me in the dark

You took me for granted now look where you are

Atop of a kingdom you built out of cards

I thought I wanted legacy, I thought I wanted fame

I didn't know I'd lose all my loved ones in exchange

Left them all behind and yeah for that I am ashamed

But that's the price I'm paying 'til I'm buried in my grave

I'll do it all over again from the start

And this time you're not leaving me in the dark

You took me for granted now look where you are

Atop of a kingdom you built out of cards
