​hollow crown

[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
