Verse 1:

My lungs lay still but I'm breathing out
I know your name but it won't come out

If there's a way to believe I can't feel a thing
I'm free as a bird with a broken wing

Chorus:

Maybe I built this house just to burn it down
From the ashes I shall wear a crown
'Cause I'm, I'm the king of broken hearts

Maybe the cross I bear is one I made
It's my choice maybe my mistake
Oh I'm, I'm the king of broken hearts

Verse 2:

No I won't cry won't she'd a tear
A bitter man stand free and clear

If this is reeze why can't I feel a thing?
I'm here again nowhere but somehow in between

Chorus:

Maybe I built this house just to burn it down
From the ashes I shall wear a crown
'Cause I'm, I'm the king of broken hearts

Maybe the cross I bear is one I made
It's my choice maybe my mistake
Oh I'm, I'm the king of broken hearts

Bridge:

The one who lives in this useless heart
What part of this journey have I overlooked?

A useless martyr and no sense of shame
Doesn't have anything mean everything?

Play it over again and again and again

I play this part

Over and over and over and over and over again

I play this part

Over and over and over and over and over again

Chorus:

Maybe I built this house just to burn it down
From the ashes I shall wear a crown
'Cause I'm, I'm the king of broken hearts

(I'm the king of broken hearts)

Maybe I built this house just to burn it down
From the ashes I shall wear a crown
'Cause I'm, I'm the king of broken hearts

Maybe the cross I bear is one I made
It's my choice maybe my mistake
Oh I'm, I'm the king of broken hearts
