Crown Heavy lyrics

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
