Fortress Queen
[Verse 1]
You made a home inside my heart
A permanent residence made of brick and time
Suppose for a time I'll be your girl
I think that I'll be the one to change your world
[Verse 2]
Unwrapping me from my plastic case
Place me in your plastic fortress, dressed in lace
Tell all your friends about the girl
They know that she'll never hear a single word
[Chorus]
You are my mirror
Everything I used to be
Nobody saved me
I want to save you
Hеlp you be the bettеr me
Don't you see?
[Verse 3]
I stand in my fortress all alone
Waiting for someone to move my aching arms
I stare at the walls 'til you come home
To your precious collectible, your favorite baby doll
[Chorus]
You say you love me
But if you really loved me
You would let me go
I am so tired
Why can't you hear my words?
The silence just makes this worse
[Verse 4]
My mouth remains just like my eyes
Painted in place, no weary tears I cry
This life that I'm living is not mine
As far as you are concerned, I'm doing alright
[Verse 5]
And then all the paint began to chip
The fabric has torn into shreds, my hair undone
What made you pick a doll so weak?
Time to go find another precious commodity
[Chorus]
I'm finally free now
I'm finally free now
I deserve the stars
No more fears in this mind
No more wasting all my life
On people who don't love mine
[Outro]
Oh
The fortress is not my home
The king is not my lover
And now I stand alone
