Written by Troye as a tribute to Amy Winehouse and other late legends.
The name “June Haverly” was called so because Troye was born in June, and Haverly was his mother’s maiden name. The song is about legends that were talented, but crumbled while they were on top.
[Verse]
June Haverly
You always get your way
But, June Haverly
Not today
No, not today
[Chorus]
You're on top of the world
Just trying to stay on track
And they'll kiss your feet
While they stab your back
And watch your star
Burn to blaze and cry
[Verse]
June Haverly
You always got your way
But not today
No, not today
[Verse 2]
June Haverly
You're not to blame
No, not to blame
And, June Haverly
Don't be ashamed
For all the pain
[Chorus]
You're on top of the world
Just trying to stay on track
And they'll kiss your feet
While they stab your back
And watch your star
Burn to blaze and cry
[Bridge]
June Haverly
We miss you so
Why'd you go?
Oh, why'd you go?
[Chorus]
You're on top of the world
Just trying to stay on track
And they'll kiss your feet
While they stab your back
And watch your star
Burn to blaze and cry
[Bridge]
June Haverly
We miss you so
Why'd you go?
Oh, why'd you go?
