[Verse]
I gave like a fool with an open heart
You traded diamonds for glass from the start
Stood in the spotlight
Basked in the glow
Never thanked the knight who braved the storm below
[Verse 2]
You climbed on shoulders to reach your game
A crown on your head but a hollow name
The wind howled loud but I held you near
Now you got the spotlight your love disappears
[Chorus]
I build my castle brick by brick
With a queen who sees through every trick
You’re still building on the backs of the past
A palace of lies with walls of glass
[Verse 3]
I once lit your way when the night was dark
Pointed at the sky while you stole my spark
Oh your shine is borrowed
Not your own
I’ve got a queen who holds her own throne
[Bridge]
The mirrors crack when the truth reflects
You trade respect for hollow effects
I walk away with a smile so wide
While you chase light that you’ll never hide
[Chorus]
I build my castle brick by brick
With a queen who sees through every trick
You’re still building on the backs of the past
A palace of lies with walls of glass
