Golden Crown

Verse

Boxes taped, the mirror's bare,

Dust where my posters used to stare,

Elevator hums eleven floors down,

Last time I lock this piece of town,

Streetlamp buzzing, taxi's outside,

I fold the map of who I used to hide.

Pre-Chorus

Do I look back or let it burn?

Every ending's just a turn,

Chin up now, don't let it show,

Watch me build this from the glow.

Chorus

I'm wearing my goodbye like a golden crown,

Head held high, walking out, no frown,

Every tear turns silver falling down,

I'm wearing my goodbye like a golden crown.

Verse

New address, keys don't fit right,

Stranger's name spelled out in light,

Old friends texting come back home,

I trace new streets I've never known,

Suitcase heavy, heart feels light,

Trading shadows for the brightest night.

Pre-Chorus

Do I look back or let it burn?

Every ending's just a turn,

Chin up now, don't let it show,

Watch me build this from the glow.

Chorus

I'm wearing my goodbye like a golden crown,

Head held high, walking out, no frown,

Every tear turns silver falling down,

I'm wearing my goodbye like a golden crown.

Bridge

Maybe crowns aren't made of gold,

Maybe they're the scars we hold,

Every doorway that I close

Turns into the light I throw,

Wasn't broken, I was born,

Rising taller from the torn.

Chorus

I'm wearing my goodbye like a golden crown,

Head held high, walking out, no frown,

Every tear turns silver falling down,

I'm wearing my goodbye like a golden crown,

Golden crown, golden crown.
