Paper Crown Hearts

You wore confidence like gold. I wore faith you never told.

Every word you said so loud felt empty once it fell down. We played kings

without a throne. Built an empire out of smoke. You looked strong under the lights,

but I saw through the shine. Every promise looked so clean

till it cracked in between. Paper crown hearts, easy to break. Heavy lies we

love to fake. Paper crown hearts, standing tall, till the first real moment falls.

We looked brave, we played our part, but we ruled with paper crown

hearts. You said love was staying calm. I felt war in every palm.
