Paper Crown

A paper crown
And a heart made of glass
A tattered gown
And her kingdom of ash
She walks alone
She can never look back

The story of a queen
Whose castle has fallen to the sea

She'll make it out
But she's never the same
She's lookin' down
At the scars that remain
But you hold your ground
Though your kingdoms in flames

'Cause it's the story of a queen
Whose castle has fallen to the sea
Knowing there's no one who will be a king that
Will come and save his queen

When all she needs, and all she wants
When all she finds
When all she is, and ever was
Is compromised
'Cause there's no one to love you
When you build your walls too high
And there's no one to love you
When you build your walls too high

She's looking out
From the war that's inside
She's screaming out
'Cause no one survived
But when you're all alone
You wait and you hide

'Cause it's the story of a queen
Whose castle has fallen to the sea
Knowing there's no one who will be a king who
Will come and save his queen

When all she needs, and all she wants
When all she finds
When all she is, and ever was
Is compromised
'Cause there's no one to love you
When you build your walls too high
And there's no one to love you
When you build your walls too high

There's no one
Who is strong enough
To save your love
There's no fairytale
There's no fairytale

When all she needs, and all she wants
When all she finds
When all she is, and ever was
Is compromised
'Cause there's no one to love you
When you build your walls too high
And there's no one to love you
When you trapt yourself inside
