Taking Back my Throne

(Intro)

(Slow piano, soft vocals)

You were so good to me...

Thought I found my peace, thought I found my home.

Should’ve known it was too good to be true.

(Beat kicks in - bass-heavy)

Yeah... I know better now.

(Verse 1)

You told me I was everything you wanted

Said you loved me, made me feel so safe

Then the honeymoon phase wore off, honey

And I started seeing through your fake disguise

A whole other world you were hiding

Built a wall I could never tear down

Just a map of lies that I was riding

Till I caught you when you weren't around.

(Chorus)

You tried the D-A-R-V-O to make me question my mind

Turn it on me, leave my sanity behind

But I knew better, boy, I knew better

I held my boundaries, I didn't break or bend

You couldn't give me the cold hard facts

So call me crazy, call it the end

(LOOP)

Yeah, I held you accountable, now just leave me be

I’m a queen who wears the crown, I’m taking back my throne.

(Verse 2)

Kept changing up your words, trying to rewrite it

Calling your deception a "misunderstanding"

I’ve grown from my past, I don’t need to fight it

I know my worth, I know where I’m landing

You’re just another lesson I had to learn

Instead of the man I thought I’d live for

Watch your own lies, baby, feel the burn

I’m standing firm, I don’t want you anymore

(Chorus)

You tried the D-A-R-V-O to make me question my mind

Turn it on me, leave my sanity behind

But I knew better, boy, I knew better

I held my boundaries, I didn't break or bend

You couldn't give me the cold hard facts

So call me crazy, call it the end

(LOOP)

Yeah, I held you accountable, now just leave me be

I’m a queen who wears the crown, I’m taking back my throne.

(Bridge / Drop Beat)

(Heavy bass, trap-influenced drums, confident vocal tone)

Go on and meet your next victim...

(Pause)

Because I’m no clown.

I see through the disguise, yeah I cut you down.

Try to make me feel small?

Nah, I stand tall.

I held you accountable, that’s why you’re mad.

Best thing that I ever had...

Was the power to leave.

(Spoken) I'm better off on my own.

(Outro / Chorus)

(Full energy)

Yeah, I knew better, boy, I knew better

I held my boundaries, I didn't break or bend

You couldn't give me the cold hard facts

So call me crazy, call it the end

(LOOP)

Yeah, I held you accountable, now just leave me be

I’m a queen who wears the crown, I’m taking back my throne.

(Slowly fading)

Taking back my throne...

I'm no clown...

Yeah, I'm better off alone.

(Final beat)
