That ain’t no crown, my love
It’s just a lie that’s painted gold
It’s just a petty facade you’ve kept up for so long

So long

That ain’t no crown, my love
It’s just a lie that’s painted gold
It’s just a petty facade you’ve kept up for so long
So long, and no that ain’t no crown my love
You’re just a fraud that’s come undone

You played me and shamed me, then turned me into dust
You gave me everything yet it still was not enough
So now I’m looking out in all directions
But I’m still filled with doubt and lingering questions

With answers to questions that we will never ever know

I wakе up in a cold sweat
You say baby, don’t you fret
We’ll makе it, I promise
Yes, I promise

That ain’t no crown, my love
It’s just a lie that’s painted gold
It’s just a petty facade you’ve kept up for so long
So long, and no that ain’t no crown my love
You’ve just a fraud that’s come undone
You taught me to keep my head up no matter the odds
It haunts me, the thought of how you condescend and laud
Your monarchy over me, your vanity’s crumbling (crumbling)
Down to the ground
I don’t hear it make a sound
And now we stand on common ground

We stand on common ground

And I’ll never get the answers to the questions I have
So I act content with never knowing who I am

That ain’t no crown, my love
It’s just a lie that’s painted gold
It’s just a petty facade you’ve kept up for so long

So long

That ain’t no crown, my love
It’s just a lie that’s painted gold
It’s just a petty facade you’ve kept up for so long
So long, and no that ain’t no crown my love
You’re just a fraud that’s come undone
That ain’t no crown, my love
It’s just a lie that’s painted gold
It’s just a petty facade you’ve kept up for so long
For so long
