Queen of the Ruins(Mine)

Queen of the Ruins Verse 1 You said I was your heaven A light inside your storm But every promise that you gave me Lost its shape and form I wore your name like armor Held the weight you couldn't bear While you were busy chasing shadows I was drowning in despair Pre-Chorus Now the smoke is clearing And I finally see the truth You weren't saving me from darkness You were leading me to it Chorus So go ahead and leave me broken Leave me bleeding in the rain I've survived a thousand endings I can survive this pain You thought I'd fall without you Thought I'd disappear from view But I'm the queen of all these ruins And I rose from losing you Verse 2 I remember every warning That I chose to push aside Because I wanted your forever More than I wanted my pride Now your ghost lives in the silence But it doesn't own my soul Every scar you left upon me Only made me stronger as a whole Pre-Chorus And I can feel the fire Where the fear used to remain I'm not the girl you left behind I'm not that weak again Chorus So go ahead and leave me broken Leave me bleeding in the rain I've survived a thousand endings I can survive this pain You thought I'd fall without you Thought I'd disappear from view But I'm the queen of all these ruins And I rose from losing you Bridge I gave you every piece of me Until there was nothing left Now I'm rebuilding from the wreckage With every breath inside my chest You can keep your empty promises Keep your hollow paradise I found my strength inside the darkness Where you thought I'd lose my life Final Chorus So go ahead and leave me broken I'm not afraid anymore Every wound became a doorway Every tear became a war You thought I'd beg to keep you You thought I'd never make it through But I'm the queen of all these ruins And tonight... I'm finally over you. Outro The ashes settle. The night grows still. And for the first time in forever... I choose myself.
