You loved everything but me,

I had thrown it all at your feet.

I thought in your eyes I was a Queen

Because I saw you as a King.

But you had many crowns

One for every face.

My mistake to think you'd

"Save" me.

I hoped you could be my take two

A reshoot.

But life is no movie

And you always carry all the pain of

Love.

In your eyes I'm no Queen,

Or simply just one of many.

The pillars I built for you are failing down

Nesting walls around my sacred crown.

You were anybody's Pharaoh

Beheading us with our backs turned.
