EMPIRES Lyrics

It's been about a year

We surrendered and were overthrown

We lost the war but I

Don't know how I'm supposed to let this go

We had the streaks of gold

In our kingdom thought we had it all

It's rich how just a little

poison always makes the mighty fall

So this is what you wanted

Done the memories you throw them out to drown in gasoline

Light them up and scorch our history

Yeah this is what you wanted

To see me fighting for the life we had but I can't bring it back

Now I see why empires never last

I knew that it was done

I just wish I could've closed my eyes

Cause even after death

I'm still looking for some peace of mind

I thought I found my queen

Now I'm thinking was it just a lie

Cause that's the thing with love

It just leaves and never tells you why

So this is what you wanted

Done with the memories you throw them out to drown in gasoline

Light em up and scorch our history

Yeah this is what you wanted

To see me fighting for the life we had but I can't bring it back

Now I see why empires never last

Was it make believe

Was this fantasy

Woah get up off the floor

You're not welcome anymore

Oooh was this make believe

Was this fantasy

Woah get up off the floor

I don't want you anymore

This is what you wanted

Done with the memories you throw them out to drown in gasoline

Light em up and scorch our history

Yeah this is what you wanted

To see me fighting for the life we had but I can't bring it back

Now I see why empires never last
