Crown
© A. Zoli & M. Hart 2014 (ASCAP)

My friend
I used to call you my friend
Over backwards I would bend 
Just to make you happy
 
I gave
Each time you asked me I gave
Took all I had, each penny saved 
And built your empire in the shadows 
 

But when it all falls down

You'll be there looking 'round
And where am I to be found?
 
You take
Each opportunity you take 
Never mind all of those past mistakes 
They'll be someone else's mess
 
And I watch
Here from the sidelines still I watch
Biding time and ticking clocks, 
Suited up and ready for the rescue  
 
But when it all fell down
You stood there looking 'round
And where was I to be found?
 
My friend
You don't deserve the title my friend
Your crown's been broken once again
It lies in pieces all around my feet
 
You became
A stranger to me, you became
It's like I barely know your name 
But I think it's better that way
 
When it all falls down
You'll still be looking 'round
When it all falls down
You'll still be looking 'round
Where will I? 
Where will I be found?
