We Were Promised Jetpacks - An Almighty Thud

I lost my crown
When it hit the ground with an almighty thud
I went to pick it up
But revealed my weaknesses to the crowd

And I lost my home
When I lost my throne to a successor
With far more expansive plans than I ever did
I abdicated

You're the last thing I want
I'd love to stay here
You're the last thing I want
I'd love to live here

And I sat in my castle and I waited on news
From one final battle that we couldn't afford to lose
And I whispered suddenly
My greatest fears to anyone who would hear me

You're the last thing I want
I'd love to stay here
You're the last thing I want
I'm going to stay here
