Cardboard Crown

It's 3am, the avenue is fading
It's only for the making
I'm made into a fool
I was hiding under smoke
When you found me in the alley
I tried to say I'm sorry
But you just kissed my neck and said
Grab your shit I'll drive you home
One day you'll learn you can't fight this alone

In the bitter drink, in our cardboard crown
You've poisoned the well and don't wanna come down
Now I'm up so high, too scared of the ground
And you swore a thousand times it wouldn't let you down
Yeah, but you know it did, cause it always does
Yeah, you know it did, cause it always does

Morning came in rumbling
A train ran off the tracks
Cars on the freeway
The sound of breaking glass
I didn't wanna wake you
Cause I've already done enough
And I know you still love me
That's what hurts so much
Stumbled out into the cold
Wish I could fix whatever part of me broke

From my bitter drink and my cardboard crown
I've poisoned my well and don't wanna come down
Now I'm up so high, too scared of the ground
And I swore a thousand I wouldn't let you down
Yeah, but I know I did, lately I always do
Yeah, you know I did, lately I always do
You know I did cause I always do
It seems I did, what it always does

From my bitter drink and my cardboard crown
I've poisoned the well and don't wanna come down
