Paper Kingdom

[sg1-eva-ro-ce-snwn-03-06] [LS.v3.3.2026.0718R] [Verse 1] You come in smiling like nothing was wrong, That half-lie grin makes the whole room tight. I keep my eyes on the floor, let you play along— Let's see how far your charm can rewrite the night. The quiet gets louder when we both pretend, But your voice can't get beneath my skin. [Chorus] You don't call the rules here. I won't play the page you made. You don't hold the story in place— This paper kingdom tears before I bow and stay. [Verse 2] You tell them softly, with that wounded face, Like I was the one who left you in the cold. I laugh at the wrong time, then walk away Before I say the thing you've already sold. You can mark me up in every room, The ink goes deeper than the lies you use. [Chorus] You don't call the rules here. Building truth on me won't make it so. You can turn the strings till the whole thing frays— This paper kingdom tears before I bow and stay. [Bridge] Your mask slipped when nobody looked. I saw you checking who believed you most. You can keep the part where you were good— I know what it cost. [Final Chorus] You don't call the rules here. I won't be the page you save. Let this paper kingdom tear apart— I'd rather lose it all than bow and stay. You don't call the rules here. Go on, tell it your way. This paper kingdom tears apart— You still won't make me bow and stay. [end]
