Royal We lyrics by Janani K. Jha
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
Where everything’s symmetrical
Love’s supposed to make you whole
I almost forgot 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” (oh)
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’
