We built a castle out of lies and maybe's

Your promises were just a shaky ladder

I wore a smile, you painted me a queen

But now the colors are all running in the rain

And I should've seen it from the start

This masterpiece was falling apart

One touch, and it all comes down

You called me your queen, but it was just a paper crown

Looks so pretty 'til the tearing sound

Now I'm picking up the pieces from the ground

Yeah, you let me down, down, down

Queen, but it was just a paper crown

Looks so pretty 'til the tearing sound

Now I'm picking up the pieces from the ground

Yeah, you let me down, down, down

I traced the edges of the words you whispered

They felt like fire, but now they're just a shiver

You held the brush, you colored all my skies

Then watched the painting fading in your eyes

And I should've seen it from the start

This masterpiece was falling apart

One touch, and it all comes down

You called me your queen, but it was just a paper crown

Looks so pretty 'til the tearing sound

Now I'm picking up the pieces from the ground

Yeah, you let me down, down, down

Was it all a game? Just a role I had to play?

I guess the fiction was too good to stay

I'm burning all the pages, watch the flame

Nothing left but ashes and my name

You called me your queen, but it was just a paper crown

Looks so pretty 'til the tearing sound

Now I'm picking up the pieces from the ground

Yeah, you let me down, down, down

Just a paper crown

Yeah

All falling down now.
