Crownless

I was quiet when they closed the door

Kept my head down, took the fall

They said I'd fade, said I'd fold

But I never gave them that at all

I learned to stand without a name

No spotlight, no one to blame

I held my ground through every doubt

And now I'm done with burning out

I'm crownless, but I'm not broken

Still here, still wide open

You can take the throne, take the praise

I'll take the fall and rise the same

I'm crownless, but I'm not gone

Built my strength where I belong

You can write me off, call it fate

But I'm still breath you couldn't take

I don't need your second glance

I never asked for circumstance

You built your walls, I walked alone

Found my peace all on my own

I'm not bitter, I'm not cold

I just stopped doing what I'm told

I'm not your echo, not your past

I'm the one who's built to last

I didn't come back for revenge

I came back to begin again

No spotlight, no parade

Just truth that never fades

Crownless, but I'm not broken

I'm crownless, but I'm not broken

Still here, still wide open

You can take the throne, take the praise

I'll take the fall and rise the same

I'm crownless, but I'm not gone

Built my strength where I belong

You can write me off, call it fate

But I'm still breath you couldn't take

You couldn't take

You couldn't take

You couldn't take
