I was living solo, 'til she lit my life
She was my world, my forever, my light
But I let my pain and darkness drive
Took for granted, what was real and right
I had a kingdom, had it all, that's true
But I broke her down with all my demands
My selfish ways, yeah, they pushed her through
Now she's gone to a better man's hands
Now I'm back to facing life alone
With tears that crash like waves of love
I had a queen, now I'm on this throne
She was my heart... my sweet, sweet dove
I had a kingdom, had it all, that's true
But I broke her down with all my demands
My selfish ways, yeah, they pushed her through
Now she's gone to a better man's hands
My heart was cold, I didn't know
The love I had slipped through my hold
Now the pain's a weight that won't let go
It's too late now for truths untold
I had a kingdom, had it all, that's true
But I broke her down with all my demands
My selfish ways, yeah, they pushed her through
Now she's gone to a better man's hands
Better mans hand's
I was cold, i never knew my hands had held a rose
My heart was cold, I never knew
My hands had held a rose
