[Verse 1] You left your coat on the chair Like you still had a plan Half of your letter was torn In the sink with the glass in my hand I read your name in the dark By the blue of the fridge And the room felt too small For the things that you did [Pre-Chorus] I tried to breathe through the blame But it came back louder Now every step in this house Feels like a broken hour [Chorus] You built a paper throne Then watched it burn You said my name like stone Now it’s my turn I won’t fold, I won’t fall Not for you, not at all You built a paper throne Then watched it burn [Verse 2] Your keys in a bowl by the door Still rattle at night And the mirror keeps showing The bruise of your goodbye I scraped your initials off wood With a nail and a prayer Now the scars on the table Look cleaner than you were [Pre-Chorus] I tried to breathe through the blame But it came back louder Now every step in this house Feels like a broken hour [Chorus] You built a paper throne Then watched it burn You said my name like stone Now it’s my turn I won’t fold, I won’t fall Not for you, not at all You built a paper throne Then watched it burn [Bridge] So take your crown of smoke Take your rehearsed goodbye I was all out of hope Now I’m out of lies One more tear in the floor One more crack in the wall I was made for the fall Now I’m standing tall [Chorus] You built a paper throne Then watched it burn You said my name like stone Now it’s my turn I won’t fold, I won’t fall Not for you, not at all You built a paper throne Then watched it burn [Outro] Burn Burn I won’t fold at all You built a paper throne
