[Verse 1]
You wore me thin like smoke
Soft voice, sharp knife
Kept your name in my mouth
Like a pill I’d never like
You smiled with that clean face
While you dirtied every room
I was all locked up inside
You danced around the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw the cracks in gold
I saw the lie in your eyes
You took the better parts
And fed them to your pride
[Chorus]
I was down, now I rise
Watch me walk through the fire
You can keep your pretty mess
I’m the one coming higher
Cold hands, black glass crown
I don’t break when you play
You made a king from the wreck
Now get out of my way
[Verse 2]
You kept three truths in a row
Wrapped in fourteen lies
Phone face down, heart face up
I was blind, but I survived
Every promise on the floor
Every tear on my shirt
You made love look like a game
Then you laughed when it hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
I learned your favorite trick
How you vanish, how you spin
Now I know the shape of you
And I won’t let you in
[Chorus]
I was down, now I rise
Watch me walk through the fire
You can keep your pretty mess
I’m the one coming higher
Cold hands, black glass crown
I don’t break when you play
You made a king from the wreck
Now get out of my way
[Bridge]
You wanted me chained
Wanted me tame
Wanted my fire
Calling your name
But I cut that cord
Left that room
Now your shadow fades
I’m the proof you lose
[Chorus]
I was down, now I rise
Watch me walk through the fire
You can keep your pretty mess
I’m the one coming higher
Cold hands, black glass crown
I don’t break when you play
You made a king from the wreck
Now get out of my way
[Outro]
Black glass crown
I wear it proud
You lost your hold
I’m louder now
