broken royalboys

(humm-mmm) I was told a story,

promised it would turn out right

Two boys in the dark,

waiting for a little light

I close the book and flip the pages,

searching for a sign

Trying to find a happy ending that was never meant as mine

I met him once,

I thought he was my whole damn world

His hands were warm,

his promises soft, as everything unfurled

But love isn't always

what they let it be

We were screaming in the quiet

just to feel a little free

Is it really love if we only ever live in the dark?

Is it really love if he made me hide who I truly

am inside my heart?

Stuck inside a fairy tale that never stood a chance

Just two men pretending in a cruel,

dishonest dance How many times will I reach for a hand I’ll

never hold? Just another tragic story that was better left untold

Even artists bleed, even he had to break

Introduced as "just a friend" for somebody else's sake

Some say it’s just my heart asking how much I can take

Watching the man I loved fade behind the lies we make I

erased myself, hid the truth,

just to keep him near Traded my whole identity

to carry all his fear Now I’m sick of waiting for the

ink to dry on this lie Writing another stupid sad song,

watching us die

Just a bunch of useless words on paper soaked in tears

What the fuck was even the point of all those wasted years?

I kept quiet, gave him everything,

let him break my soul Now I’m left with broken pieces of

a man who was once whole

Every cover, every lyric,

just painful, hollow noise

We were never royalty...

just broken, hidden boys

All I know is...

maybe one day, when I don't have to hide

My song will find a happy ending on the other side

Until then, I’m closing the book

Goodbye, my love... I’m closing the book
