Alec Benjamin - Paper Crown Lyrics
A paper crown
And a heart made of glass
A tattered gown
And a kingdom of ash
She walks alone
The story of a queen whose castle has fallen to the sea
She'll make it out
But she's never the same
She's looking down
At the scars that remain
But you hold your ground
When your kingdoms in flames
Cause it's the story of a queen
Whose castle has fallen to the sea
Knowing there's no one who will be
When all she needs
When all she wants
When all she finds
When all she is
And ever was
Is compromised
Cause there's no one to love you
When you build your walls
Too high
And there's no one to love you
When you build your walls too
High
She's looking out
From the war that's inside
She's screaming out
Cause no one survived
But when you're all alone
You wait and you hide
Cause it's the story of a queen
Whose castle has fallen to the sea
Knowing there's no one who will be
A king who will come and save his queen
When all she needs
When all she wants
When all she finds
When all she is
And ever was
Is compromised
Cause there's no one to love you
When you build your walls
Too high
And there's no one to love you
When you build your walls too
High
There's no one
Who is strong enough
To save your love
There's no fairytale
There's no fairytale
When all she needs
When all she wants
When all she finds
When all she is
And ever was
Is compromised
Cause there's no one to love you
When you build your walls
Too high
And there's no one to love you
When you trap yourself inside

Very deep... Very deep.

Isolation isn’t safety, it’s death. If nobody knows your alive you aren’t
Colaboración con Taylor Swift o con Billie Eillish 😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I thought this voice is different -,-
I think I love him cause his music is so late 2000s early 2010s
That was sad, but really cute.
I think this is a story of the statue of Liberty
This got me through the tough times of life .
I remember when I first heard and I played it on repeat even say it for a talent show it's been a few years and I'm a totally new person yet I still have every single lyric memorized
This song is literally about a person who is struggling with ptsd and Alec's description is so accurate. Thank you Alec
Jear desus, this actually gave me chills...
Great song. Kinda addictive, too.
Too bad its not on spotify
Why is this song not on Spotify?

this song in concert is beautiful ya'll :,)
Alec I love all of your songs. In my opinion they all tell a different story. I love your music keep it up.☺♥
AMAZING SONGS IVE HEARD ALOT OF THEM
This song seems like the story of a girl who had to compromise at every point of her life for one reason or the other. And rarely was the reason for her own good. Every step she took she fought and fell. And everytime she fell she build the wall higher. And now she's the queen living in the those walls with paper crown which can't be crossed by anyone. She doesn't want to compromise doens't want to sacrifice. Everyone thought she was growing stronger but the fact was she was becoming weak everytime she built the wall higher and now she's all alone and is trapped! This ain't a fairytale where the prince would come on his white horse. She would wait and someday would quit waiting and live her life looking at the world behind those walls.
yes.
must hear on radio
Why isint this song on Pandora i wanna listen to it on replay but its not on pandora..?
