The Throne I Deserve [Extended Version] By Chris Peters Preformed By Shanie T Verse 1 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 Verse 2 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 Hook 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 Verse 3 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 Bridge 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 Hook Outro 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 Final Verse But life don’t end where the story breaks, Sometimes the heart rebuilds from its mistakes. Out of the blue, he walked into my storm, A stranger with a warmth I’d never known before. He didn’t chase me, didn’t bow to my name, Just held his truth while I unraveled my shame. Piece by piece, he pulled my walls apart Not with force, just the safety of an honest heart. And slowly, I learned what power really means Not crowns, not games, not impossible dreams. He showed me love isn’t something to hoard or serve… It’s the throne you earn when you finally learn your worth. Now I sit beside him, no kingdom to prove Just a heart rebuilt with something to lose. I chased a crown… but love showed me its curve And now I live on the throne I finally deserve.
