You were my crown jewel
But you played me like a fool
You were my crown jewel
But you play me like a fool

.  .  .

I used to look at your smile
And think I'm gonna stay awhile
Move into our very own house
Work through all of our trials

But now it seems that's all we share
Souls that never touch, never paired
Two desperate suns, separate glows
Arms in display, like an old gun show

Except when yours lays on mine
It doesn't hurt me, it makes me feel fine
But it makes me feel uneasy at the same time
Lying on finger tips, lie you and I

I want to inhale your love
And I want to forgive your hate
But whenever I open my mouth
You feel the need to retaliate

Wait, this isn't how it's supposed to be
If I think about flying, you won't be waiting on me
I'm accumulating miles so rapidly
I'm going to break down, just wait and see

I'm trying to find a way to fill in the space
Between your heart and mine, but it's been a waste
Because you get mad again until you red in the face
And then I stop and try to switch up the pace

I know at this time
It's like we're having a race
Me going towards you
You facing away

The conditions under which
Our love was built
Was lust mixed with lies
Six joker cards were dealt

I try to hide and conceal how I feel
But you can always tell when it's not real
I question why I love you still
Thoughts in my mind, willing me to be killed

And if my blood gets spilled,
Will you really be there?

Or will you be holding the gun,
Standing in underwear?

I'm only asking
Because of the look in your eye
No emotions to show
The darkness has reprised

It's ultimate role
In concealing our light
What we used to hold
A tiny bit of shine

Because you truly believe I need you
And to an extent this is truth

But the extent is marginal, proof
I'll love you, but I'll leave you too

Suppose we reap seeds we've sown
Too many broken hearts in our wake

Alone

Alone

Suppose we reap seeds we've sown
Too many broken hearts in our wake

Alone

Alone

You were my crown jewel
But you played me like a fool
You were my crown jewel
But you play me like a fool
