Queen Lyrics by ​ayokay

In the Shape of a Dream

2018

[Intro: ayokay]
'Cause tonight you're no queen
But you still make it seem
Why you always play the lead?
You're too fast, then you're too slow
And the next thing you know
It's no longer your show

[Verse 1: Quinn XCII]
You're always in my face
No evading where you go
Trying so hard to be that girl
That's on everyone's mind
But I can't escape what I know
You're commonly afraid to
Jump over lines to the unknown
You, try so hard to be the one
That breaks the breaking news
But can't relax and say the truth

[Pre-Chorus: Quinn XCII, ayokay]
So I, throw out a life vest
But still you won't grab a hold
I don't see you escaping from the undertow
'Cause tonight you're no queen
But you still make it seem
Why you always play the lead?
You're too fast, then you're too slow
And the next thing you know
It's no longer your show

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Quinn XCII]
You always stick around
Even when I wish you'll fade
Trying so hard to be something
That you're never becoming
I don't have it in me to say
Just go and face the great truth
This running water doesn't stop for you
I can't seem to fight the current rushing over us
The simple things you won't discuss

[Pre-Chorus: Quinn XCII, ayokay]
So I, throw out a life vest
But still you won't grab a hold
I don't see you escaping from the undertow
'Cause tonight you're no queen
But you still make it seem
Why you always play the lead
You're too fast, then you're too slow
And the next thing you know
It's no longer your show*

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: ayokay]
'Cause tonight you're no queen
But you still make it seem
Why you always play the lead
You're too fast, then you're too slow
And the next thing you know
It's no longer your show
