Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I lost my crown
When it hit the ground
With an almighty thud
I went to pick it up
But revealed my weaknesses to the crowd
[Verse 2]
And I lost my home
When I lost my throne
To a successor
With far more expansive plans
Than I ever did
I abdicated
[Verse 3]
You're the last thing I want
I'd love to stay here
You're last thing I want
I'd love to live here
[Verse 4]
And I sat in my castle
And I waited on news
From one final battle
That we couldn't afford to lose
And I whispered suddenly
My greatest fears to anyone who would hear me
[Verse 5]
The last thing I want
I'd love to stay here
You're the last thing I want
I'm going to stay here
