Kingdom of Cards

Gave it all to burn forever underneath the rain
 Drowning in the present of a past that I couldn't change
 Writing songs instead of letters because I'm too afraid
 Afraid of coming back to find that everything is the same
 ♪
 Everything is the same
 ♪
 I made my way through hell again, I paid for my mistakes
 Next time I think, I'll stay awhile and pour myself a drink
 When I return, I'll look for you, so listen for your name
 If you can make it out above the roaring of the flames
 ♪
 If it's the mask you want, then it's the mask that you will get
 But when I take it off, remember that you asked for this
 I tore myself apart to give you all that I could give
 Don't think that I will let it go, don't think that I'll forget
 I thought I wanted legacy, I thought I wanted fame
 I didn't know I'd lose all my loved ones in exchange
 Left 'em all behind, and, yeah, for that I am ashamed
 But that's the price I'm paying 'till I'm buried in my grave
 Gave it all to burn forever underneath the rain
 Drowning in the present of a past that I couldn't change
 Writing songs instead of letters because I'm too afraid
 Afraid of coming back to find that everything is the same
 I'll do it all over again from the start
 And this time you're not leaving me in the dark
 You took me for granted, now look where you are
 Atop of a kingdom you built out of cards
 I thought I wanted legacy, I thought I wanted fame
 I didn't know I'd lose all my loved ones in exchange
 Left 'em all behind, and, yeah, for that I am ashamed
 But that's the price I'm paying 'till I'm buried in my grave
 I'll do it all over again from the start
 And this time you're not leaving me in the dark
 You took me for granted, now look where you are
 Atop of a kingdom you built out of cards
