[Chorus]

I'm burning through your bones, you were made of paper

Just ashes on a throne, guess I’ll see you later

I’m standing on my own, no need to wait for

A person to call home, I’m my own skyscraper


[VERSE 1]

Well you always said I’d be lonely

You never put my crown back on me

I cried, I cried, I cried

Sacrificing my mind to atone me

Now bloods dripping, it’s dripping back on me

I tried, I tried, I tried


[PRE-Chorus]

Finally found you at the bottom of a broken glass

Carving sorrys on the floor, who’s got time for that?

I remember when we met, you could make me laugh

But I think I’m done with that


[Chorus]

I'm burning through your bones, you were made of paper

Just ashes on a throne, guess I’ll see you later

I’m standing on my own, no need to wait for

A person to call home, I’m my own skyscraper


[VERSE 2]

Turns out I don’t need anyone but me

In your eyes, I was always unholy

Now I, know that, you lied

Crying wolf like the boy in that story

Craving sorrows like they were your glory

Don’t give, me those, sad eyes


[PRE-Chorus]

Finally found you at the bottom of a broken glass

Carving sorrys on the floor, who’s got time for that?

I remember when we met, you could make me laugh

But I think I’m done with that


[Chorus]

I'm burning through your bones, you were made of paper

Just ashes on a throne, guess I’ll see you later

I’m standing on my own, no need to wait for

A person to call home, I’m my own skyscraper


[BRIDGE]

I think I’m done with that

I’m never coming back

I think I’m done with that

I think I’m done with that

I’m never coming back

I’m sorry...you never proved me wrong


[Chorus]

I'm burning through your bones, you were made of paper

Just ashes on a throne, guess I’ll see you later

I’m standing on my own, no need to wait for

A person to call home, I’m my own skyscraper
