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 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 'em all behind, and, yeah, for that I am ashamed But that's the price I'm paying 'till 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 'em all behind, and, yeah, for that I am ashamed But that's the price I'm paying 'till 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
