Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were the sun in every story
Your picture framed in every hall
They saved the biggest slice of glory
Left me counting crumbs that fell
Every win you had
They cheered it
Every tear I cried
"be strong"
You got a crown for being perfect
I got the blame when it went wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me
Did you ever see me
Sitting in the corner of the room?
Wearing every fault they handed
Like a name I never chose
[Chorus]
You were the golden child
I was the scapegoat heart
You got the praise and the bright
Bright smiles
I got the shadows and the scars
You had a place at the table
I slept alone in the dark
You were the golden
Golden child
I was the scapegoat heart (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
They wrapped you up in soft excuses
Wrapped me up in "what you did"
You broke a rule
They called it "learning"
I breathed too loud
I was the risk
Every secret you confessed
Fell so gentle on their ears
I told the truth
They called it trouble
Hung it on me for years and years
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me
Did you ever wonder
Why I always left the room?
Carrying the weight of every whisper
Every storm they pinned on me and you
[Chorus]
You were the golden child
I was the scapegoat heart
You got the praise and the bright
Bright smiles
I got the shadows and the scars
You had a place at the table
I slept alone in the dark
You were the golden
Golden child
I was the scapegoat heart (yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
I’m not your mirror
I’m not your sin
I’m not the box they put me in
I’m done absorbing all their hurt
I’m walking out
I’ll watch it burn
[Chorus]
You were the golden child
I was the scapegoat heart
You got the praise and the bright
Bright smiles
I got the shadows and the scars
Now I’m the one who decides my worth
You can keep your plastic crown
You were the golden
Golden child
I’m the one who’s rising now (oh-oh)
