[Verse 1] I wake in the ruin With iron in my breath A crown made of splinters A bed made of death Your name in my marrow Your hands in my fire I break every kingdom Just to feed this desire [Pre-Chorus] I wear the dark like silk I wear the grave like gold I need your light to wound me I need your hand to hold [Chorus] I hate to love you I hate to love you Queen of my ruin Pull me in deeper I hate to love you I hate to love you I burn the world quiet When you are near me (near me) (near me) [Verse 2] I stole from the thunder I drank from the flood I built me a palace On smoke, ash, and blood Your rival’s soft laughter Still cuts like a knife And I am a king With a wasteland for life [Pre-Chorus] I wear the dark like silk I wear the grave like gold I need your light to wound me I need your hand to hold [Chorus] I hate to love you I hate to love you Queen of my ruin Pull me in deeper I hate to love you I hate to love you I burn the world quiet When you are near me (near me) (near me) [Bridge] Let the heavens crack open Let the towers fall slow I have lived for forever And I still do not know Why your shadow can crown me Why your silence can bleed Why I ache like a sinner When you look at me [Final Chorus] I hate to love you I hate to love you Queen of my ruin Pull me in deeper I hate to love you I hate to love you I’d kill every tomorrow To feel you near me (near me) (near me)
