Emily Marie - Kingdom

I made myself a ruler of my own kingdom
I sought to gain control of everything within my reach
Little did I know, I would be the downfall of me

I thought that I would flourish and thrive
I thought I'd figured out the easy way of life
Oh, what I didn't realize

I believed I could be the judge of everybody else
But I never stopped to glance in a mirror to examine myself
I had no patience for fools and thieves
And showed no compassion for people different from me

I thought that I would flourish and thrive
I thought I'd figured out the easy way of life
Oh, what I didn't realize

My pride pushed everyone away and left me to my own devices
And at first attack, I was quick to retreat as you weakened my defenses
I tried to flee, but you had me surrounded
And when I claimed my defeat
I conceded my seat on the throne that was never meant for me
But you spared my life and placed me by your side

I thought that I would flourish and thrive
I thought I'd figured out the easy way of life
Oh, what I didn't realize
You were the maker of my whole life
