watch it burn

You heard I wasn't good with trust

And you tricked me into thinking I could love again

I was an open wound

Now all you needed was the salt

Foolish little me thought I was your queen

Even though all of my friends warned me

About your stolen stares at my crown

While I wasn't looking

And you held the dagger in your hand

As you looked me in the eye

And plunged it straight into my chest

And I know I left you no choice in the end

So I guess that explains why the blood stained

Both of our bare hands

I only ever wanted to give you the world

But all you ever wanted was to watch it burn

You had a way of bending the truth

Glossing over words where it benefits you

And crossing your fingers

As you said you gave me your word

I used to hide a weapon up my sleeve

But with you I never had to worry

While I was tearing down my walls

You were planning my fall

I only ever wanted to give you the world

But all you ever wanted was to watch it burn

I wonder if we could go and relive our glory days

Would there be a chance for anything we did to change

Maybe you wouldn't have left me bleeding on the ground

And hid the evidence

And ran away to claim your crown

And you were only hoping for a bit of sweet relief

While I was fully convinced you and I were meant to be

I ignored every sign

And rose coloured your every lie

When you were never even mine

I only ever wanted to give you the world

But all you ever wanted was to watch it burn

I only wanted to give you the world

And now you'll watch me burn
