[Verse 1] You walked in like a headline scandal Gold cufflinks and a heart full of vandals Everybody warned me, I romanticized the flames Now your ghost is just expensive taste You loved the cameras more than the kisses Turned my confessions into your business I was pouring out champagne for two While you were counting every room you could move through [Pre-Chorus] I let you wear my crown like a souvenir Now the kingdom’s gone but the smoke is clear [Chorus] This is why the roses all died in your hands Why the glitter turned to ash across the dance You break it, laugh it off, call it fate Then wonder why the doors all slam in your face You said forever like a punchline in a joke Now I’m dancing while your empire goes up in smoke Oh, you love burning bridges for the view Guess that’s why there’s nothing left for you [Post-Chorus] No more champagne on the concrete No more tears in the backseat You had paradise and let it bleed Now you watch me leave [Verse 2] You kept score like it was a sport Cut me down just to feel important Every promise had invisible ink I saw the truth faster than you think Your new girls all wear my shadow Learning lessons I already know You collect hearts like luxury cars Drive them fast then leave them in the dark [Pre-Chorus] You called it love while twisting the knife Funny how you always play the victim twice [Chorus] This is why the roses all died in your hands Why the glitter turned to ash across the dance You break it, laugh it off, call it fate Then wonder why the doors all slam in your face You said forever like a punchline in a joke Now I’m dancing while your empire goes up in smoke Oh, you love burning bridges for the view Guess that’s why there’s nothing left for you [Bridge] And all your friends still toast to your chaos Like destruction makes you famous But the loudest room gets quiet fast When everybody’s tired of cleaning broken glass Oh-oh-oh You thought you’d leave me shattered Oh-oh-oh Now your name don’t matter [Final Chorus] This is why the roses all died in your hands Why your kingdom disappeared like shifting sand You can blame the world, blame me, blame truth But every fire started with you I used to cry every time you’d go Now I raise a glass while you lose control Yeah, you had heaven and tore it in two Guess that’s why there’s nothing left for you [Outro] No more champagne on the concrete No more you and me Just your echo in the city lights Fading quietly tonight
