lyrics

[Verse 1]

You played the damsel in distress
damn desiring another man's caress
under the sheets of some forbidden silk
with a thread count that could cover up the guilt
from your scandal

[Chorus]

Queen Double Standard
You made your bed
now won't you sleep in it, too?
when you want to
whatever you're out to prove
well, who needs proof
when all the truth
was left to you?

[Verse 2]

You had an empire and a fantasy
brought down by foreign and domestic enemies
You played the victim in a tragic scene
Ain't it fun to play pretend and make believe?
I will not pander

[Chorus]

Queen Double Standard
You made your bed
now won't you sleep in it, too?
when you want to
whatever you're out to prove
well, who needs proof
when all the truth
was left to you?

[Bridge]

Why should I explain when you know what you did?
Bounced around some beds
disappeared for the weekend
ring ring goes the bells of your phone
knock knock knock but no one's home

Why should I explain when you know what you did?
Bounced around some beds
disappeared for the weekend
ring ring goes the bells of your phone
knock knock knock but no one's home

Who dethroned me?
Took my crown and exiled me?
and defiled everything about me
until I'm screaming jealously
"it's all for you"

[Chorus]

Queen Double Standard
You made your bed
now won't you sleep in it, too?
when you want to
whatever you're out to prove
but who needs proof
when all the truth
is left to you?

who needs proof
when all the truth
is lost on you?
