Crown of My Own

[Verse]
Born to a throne I never claimed
They stitched my name in golden frame
Told me to wait
Told me to bow
Told me to save my love somehow
But love's a cage
Gilded and thin
I broke the bars
I won't let him in
[Prechorus]
The crown is heavy
But it fits just fine
No hand but mine will trace this line
[Chorus]
I wear the weight
I carve the stone
This is my kingdom
My crown of my own
No vows
No chains
No borrowed throne
I stand alone
I stand alone
[Verse 2]
Whispers followed
Like smoke on air
"Where’s her king? Who’ll tame her stare?"
They feared the fire behind my eyes
But queens don’t burn—they rise
They rise
The stars I charted
The wars I won
The night bends only to the sun
[Chorus]
I wear the weight
I carve the stone
This is my kingdom
My crown of my own
No vows
No chains
No borrowed throne
I stand alone
I stand alone
[Bridge]
Once they said
"A queen should wait
Be soft and still
Accept her fate."
But I have thunder in my veins
A roaring sea that can't be tamed
