Paper Crown (Acoustic)

You set the bar where I can't reach

Then call me weak when I fall short

I've been tearing skin

From my own hands

Just to build a throne you'll still ignore

Every word feels like a sentence

Every glance a loaded gun

You gave me a paper crown

And laughed while I wore it down

I'll break in the shape you want

But it's never enough, never enough

I held the weight you swore was mine

You still say I should be more

I'm screaming through my broken teeth

But you only raise the floor

You'll never see what it's costing

And that I'm done carrying the blame

You gave me a paper crown

And laughed while I wore it down

I'll break in the shape you want

But it's never enough, never enough

I bite my tongue until it bleeds

And you still say I don't believe

How much louder do I have to scream Before you choke on what you've made of me

You gave me a paper crown

And laughed while I wore it down

I'll break in the shape you want

But it's never enough, never enough

Never enough

Never enough
