I spend my nights filled with grief
For the life, and the force
That I was before you changed it
When we built a home
Turned the chairs into thrones
Guess we got comfortable
Around the edges

I put you on a pedestal
Let you love me skeletal
We got so inseparable
I almost forgot how

Before I had you
I was free
Took my kingdom come
Traded it for loyalty
Did it all for love
Now I'm running
All my dreams
By the king and queen
I used to speak for me
But now I use the royal we

Walk in the room
And your touch is like glue
Fixing me to your skin
I'm your appendage
Your better half
Am I better than that
Is my worth mine or yours
Or a percentage

I put us on a pedestal
(Put us on a pedestal)
Where everything's symmetrical
(Everything's symmetrical)
Love's supposed to make you whole
(Mmm)
I almost for got how

Before I had you
I was free
Let my walls come down
I looked up and Troy was breached
And you wore my crown
Now I'm running
All my dreams
By the king and queen
I used to speak for me
But now I use the royal we

(I used to be)
(So used to me on my own)
(I got used to we)
(Uh huh)
(I'll be running all my dreams)
(I used to be)
(And your touch)
(Is like glue)
(So used to me on my own)
(By the king and queen)
(I got used to we)
(Mmm)

Now I'm running
All my dreams
(I used to be)
By the king and queen
(So used to me on my own)
I used to speak for me
But now I use the royal we
