Palace of Bones

Verse

We were neon, we were gold, a story meant to be told

You whispered secrets, I gave you my soul

But I became the supporting role

I walked on eggshells in my own room

While you turned sunny days into gloom

It was a "friendly" dagger, sharp and cold

I was the keeper, you were in control

Pre-chorus

I’m picking up the pieces of my shattered self-esteem

It’s not a friendship, it's a waking, walking dream

Where you take the sunshine, and I get the rain

You call it loyalty, I call it pain

Chorus

Oh, I’m building me up while you’re breaking down

No longer the queen of your, your "lonely town"

15 years, and 15 million tears

Begging for love, while I hide all my fears

Now you sit on your throne in a palace of bones

I’m letting you go, I’m taking my own

Verse

You only called when you needed a fix

A master of shadows and twisted tricks

You loved me best when I was on my knees

But I’m standing up, I’m doing as I please

"You're too sensitive," was your favorite line

While you stole my energy, thought it was fine

The whispers in town, the stories you spun

Now the curtain is closing, the damage is done

Chorus

Oh, I’m building me up while you’re breaking down (breaking down)

No longer the queen of your, your "lonely town"

15 years, and 15 million tears

Begging for love, while I hide all my fears

Now you sit on your throne in a palace of bones

I’m letting you go, I’m taking my own (taking my own)
