​hollow crown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, she wore you like silk Bandaged all around The scars of your love Became your hollow crown And she held you through the night And kissed you through the cold Blinded by your light Just waiting to grow old [Chorus] She said, love, I'd give you everything I'd give you everything that you need Oh, love, well I'd do anything And I'd do anything to be seen [Verse 2] So when you packed all of your bags And left without a word Well, the voices in her head Were begging to be heard So she wept all through the night And slept all through the day 'Cause her lonely, lonely heart Was caught in every trap you laid [Chorus] And she said, love, I'd give you everything I'd give you everything that you need Oh, love, well I'd do anything Yes, I'd do anything to be seen [Bridge] Why did we break down? Why did we break down? Was it just 'Cause we weren't ready? Why did we break down? Why did we break down? Was I vulnerable, or too unsteady? And why did we break down? And why did we break down? Was it just 'Cause we weren't ready? And why did we break down? And why did we break down? Was I too vulnerable, or too unsteady? [Outro] Oh, love, I gave you everything I gave you everything that you need Oh, love, well I'd do anything Yes, I'd do anything To be free To be free To be free
