[Verse 1] They paved the road with everything they had Threw their praise into the dirt to watch me walk A hundred thousand faces, shining, reaching But not a single one who'd stay to talk I saw the flowers land before my feet And felt the thorns they'd hide inside the week The noise was beautiful, the noise was frightening The loudest rooms are always first to leak [Pre-Chorus] They're already rehearsing the goodbye While the confetti's still falling from the sky [Chorus] Same mouth that called me savior Called me nothing come the morning Same hands that held me higher Let me hit the floor without a warning The crowd that built the throne Is the one that burns it down Same mouth, same crowd They only love you til you're gone [Verse 2] They want the light but not the flame that makes it The winning but not all the losing years They screenshot every golden Sunday moment Then hit delete when Monday reappears They loved the headline but they'll skip the footnote The trending name but not the trembling hands They build you monuments on Tuesday morning And chisel them to dust by Wednesday's end [Pre-Chorus] They're already picking out the next one Before the last one's even cold [Chorus] Same mouth that called me savior Called me nothing come the morning Same hands that held me higher Let me hit the floor without a warning The crowd that built the throne Is the one that burns it down Same mouth, same crowd They only love you til you're gone [Bridge] I'm not bitter, no That's just what the current does Pulls you out then pulls you under Love disguised as applause The confetti and the ashes Fall the same way from this height So I'll walk into the silence Like it's the only honest light [Final Chorus] Same mouth that sang my anthem Can't remember half the words Same hands that caught the roses Left the thorns for me to learn The crowd that wore my colors Faded out to empty grey Same mouth, same crowd But I still chose this road today [Outro] Same mouth... same crowd Still walking through the quiet now
