I gave up my crown for your reign

I was your queen only by name

You could only love me on a throne

I was a gilded sheath for your sword

You used to worship me like royalty

Now you spit on me like a beggar

You changed

So baby, I did too, for the better

I used to be honey for you

Now I'm a wildfire

But I'll always be golden

Golden

Golden

Golden

Golden

I could only shine if it was for you

You built us a marble castle too

Now promises of safety and love

Still echo like lost ghosts through stone walls

You used to worship me like royalty

Precious kingdoms turned to beggars

You changed

So baby, I did too, for the better

I used to be honey for you

Now I'm a wildfire

But I'll always be golden

Golden

Golden

Golden

Golden

Yeah I made you my lifestyle

Now you're a treasure chest

of false hopes in past times

Now I'm in control

I won't melt for no one

Baby, I'm golden

Baby

You used to worship me like royalty

Now you spit on me like a beggar

You changed

So baby, I did too, for the better

I used to be honey for you

Now I'm a wildfire

But I'll always be golden
