The stage is always hungry
I feed it every night
A thousand faces screaming
But yours is out of sight
They bought the pretty pieces
The ones I sold as real
You got the broken version
The one I couldn't heal
Pre-Chorus
I'm dancing on the wreckage
Of what we used to be
They're singing every word back
But no one's saving me
Chorus
So this is what I wanted
Crown made of broken glass
They love me in the moment
But nothing ever lasts
I'm burning, I'm burning
Up here all alone
They're cheering for the fire
While I'm turning into stone
Verse 2
The cameras catch my best side
Edited and clean
You saw me in the morning
The parts they'll never see
Now every song's a funeral
For something I can't name
They think it's entertainment
You know it's just the pain
Pre-Chorus
I'm smiling through the damage
Performing on repeat
They're throwing roses at me
That cut beneath my feet
Chorus
So this is what I wanted
Crown made of broken glass
They love me in the moment
But nothing ever lasts
I'm burning, I'm burning
Up here all alone
They're cheering for the fire
While I'm turning into stone
Bridge
Tell me was it worth it
This trade I didn't choose
I kept the adoration
But I lost the only truth
(I lost you, I lost you)
I lost you
Final Chorus
So this is what I wanted
Everything and more
A million hands reaching
But I'm emptier than before
I'm burning, I'm burning
Bright enough to blind
They're screaming that they love me
But you're the one I left behind
Outro
The stage is always hungry
I have nothing left to give
