hollow crown lyrics

[Verse 1]
Built me ​​up just to watch me fall
Now you're nothing, you lost it all
Dripping gold but it’s turning black
Bet you wish you could have me back

[Pre-Chorus]
Took the easy way, played it safe
Now you're stuck in your own disgrace

[Chorus]
Your hollow crown can't shine the same
Slipped it on, but it won’t stay
Traded diamonds for some dust
Hope it gives you what you trust

[Verse 2]
Your fire's out, your glow is fake
Every word, a cheap remake
Maybe if I curled my hair
You'd pretend that you still care

[Pre-Chorus]
Took the easy way, played it safe
Now you're drowning in your disgrace
[Chorus]
Your hollow crown can't shine the same
Slipped it on, but it won't stay
Traded diamonds for some dust
Hope it gives you what you trust

[Bridge]
Your friends were blind, just puppets on strings
Couldn't see your lies, they're sinking in your sting
You were the only child, thought you had it all
But your world is crumbling, watch it fall
Green eyes, once fierce, now empty and cold
Lost the battle for your soul, now you’re sold
You wore that crown like it was gold
But now you’re getting old, and it's foretold

[Chorus]
Your hollow crown can’t shine the same
Slipped it on, but it won't stay
Traded diamonds for some dust
Hope it gives you what you trust
