I always knew the world was made for me Crowned in my head, royalty was all I’d see Used the men, played my part, had my fun Thought the world would bow when I said I’d won Gave you a family, just to fill the void But your love was never something I enjoyed I took what I needed, never gave much back Thought I could rule with a heart off-track Pre-Chorus You tried to love me, but I wouldn’t fall I needed more than you could ever call I was born for silk, not struggle and sweat You gave me enough, but not what I get I gave you a family to buy some time But I won’t sink for a love past its prime I’ll climb where the air is rich and rare To the throne I deserve, not the cross I bear I met a man who didn’t fall for my game He saw through the act, knew I wasn’t the same I begged for love, but he just walked away Left me with nothing, nothing left to say I thought I could have it all, control the tide But love ain't something you can steal or hide You can't demand what's not yours to take And in the end, it’s the heart that’ll break I was born for silk, not struggle and sweat You gave me enough, but not what I get I gave you a family to buy some time But I won’t sink for a love past its prime I’ll climb where the air is rich and rare To the throne I deserve, not the cross I bear Now I’m alone, and the throne is cold I had my chance, but I couldn’t hold The crown I chased, the love I missed All for the life I thought I’d twist I could’ve been happy, but I couldn’t bend Now I’m left with nothing, just an empty end I was born for silk, not struggle and sweat You gave me enough, but not what I get I gave you a family to buy some time But I won’t sink for a love past its prime I’ll climb where the air is rich and rare To the throne I deserve, not the cross I bear
