Lyrics
 
It's pourin' in, you're laid on the floor againOne knock at the door and thenWe both know how the story endsYou can't win if your white flag's out when the war begins 
Aimin' so high, but swingin' so lowTryna catch fire, but feelin' so coldHold it inside, and hope it won't showI'm sayin' it's not, but inside I know
 
Today's gonna be the day you notice'Cause I'm tired of explainin' what the joke is
 
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crownFire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' downTry to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin' outThis is what you asked for, heavy is theHeavy is the crown
 
Turn to run, now look what it's becomeOutnumbered, ten to oneBack then, should've bit your tongue'Cause there's no turnin' back this path once it's begun 
You're already on that listSay you don't want what you can't resistWavin' that sword when the pen won't missWatch it all fallin' apart like this
 
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crownFire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' downTry to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin' outThis is what you asked for, heavy is theHeavy is the crown
 
Today's gonna be the day you notice'Cause I'm tired of explainin' what the joke is 
This is what you asked for!!!
 
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crownFire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' downTry to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin' outThis is what you asked for, heavy is theHeavy is the crown
 
Heavy is the crownHeavy is the, heavy is the crown
