Crown of Willow

You handed me the roses, but you kept the thorns...

Now I'm drifting down the river of the things we swore!

(Ah, ah, drifting away...)

The water is freezing, but it feels like home

I left my silk dresses on the mossy stone

You watched from the bridge with a tear in your eye

But you never jumped in, you just waved goodbye

Violets in my hair, heavy on my chest

I'm sinking down deeply to my final rest

You loved the idea of a broken thing

But you couldn't handle the winter I bring

So weave me a crown of the willow tree

Let the dark blue currents swallow me

I was your muse, I was your tragedy

But down in the deep, I am finally free

(Oh, finally free...)

You'll write a poem about the girl who drowned

You'll tell all your friends how I dragged you down

But I see the truth through the watery glass

Your love was a ghost, it was never meant to last

Violets in my hair, heavy on my chest

I'm sinking down deeply to my final rest

You loved the idea of a broken thing

But you couldn't handle the winter I bring

So weave me a crown of the willow tree

Let the dark blue currents swallow me

I was your muse, I was your tragedy

But down in the deep, I am finally free

I gave you the ocean, you wanted a cup!

I was bleeding out while you were drinking it up!

I built you a castle, you locked me inside!

You called it a rescue, I call it a lie!

(Lie, lie, lie!)

So keep your roses...

And weave me a crown of the willow tree!

Let the dark blue currents swallow me!

I was your muse, I was your tragedy

But down in the deep, I am finally free...

I am finally free.
