Hollow Crown

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, she said

"Love, I give you everything, I give you everything that you need

Oh, love, I'd do anything, yes, I'd do anything to be seen"

So when you packed all of your bags, and left without a word

While 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

And she said

"Love, I give you everything, I give you everything that you need

Oh, love, well, I'd do anything, yes, I'd do anything to be seen"

So why did we break down?

Yes, why did we break down?

Was it just 'cause we weren't ready?

And why did we break down?

Why did we break down?

Was I too vulnerable or too unsteady?

And why did we break down?

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?

Oh, love, I gave you everything, I gave you everything that you need

Oh, love, I'd do anything, yes, I'd do anything to be free, to be free

To be free
