Don't Want Royal Anymore

Crown on the floor
Leave the crown on the floor

I stepped inside to a house holding silence
Heels in my hand, key slow in the door
There by the runner, under the hallway mirror
Our little gold crown was split on the floor
The one you bought after that rooftop dinner
When you called me queen for the whole room to hear
Now one bright point rolled under the table
Your cuff link hiding by the plant over here

Outside we looked like gold and grace
Inside I kept shrinking small
You built a throne from other people's praise
Then left me lonely in the hall

Crown on the floor (on the floor)
Leave it there by the door
I won't kneel to earn your love
I don't want royal anymore

Leave it, leave it (on the floor)
No more king, no more queen
Leave it, leave it (on the floor)
No more bowing at the door

Your feed still has us smiling in Paris
Caption shining, "built like a throne"
Hearts keep falling from people who love us
From people who never hear this home
I found a hotel receipt under the soap dish
Folded twice like it hated the light
Every compliment you ever gave me
Felt like a leash dressed up as proof tonight

Crown on the floor (on the floor)
Leave it there by the door
I won't kneel to earn your love
I don't want royal anymore

I took my earrings off by the mirror
Mascara dark on a cotton round
I met the woman under the queen
And she didn't make a sound

Crown on the floor (on the floor)
I lock the house without the crown
I won't kneel to earn your love
I don't want royal anymore

Let the quiet hallway keep the gold
Crown on the floor
