Nina Nesbitt - Empire lyrics

[Verse 1] I haven’t played a show in way too long People keep asking me where I have gone I started fading quick, yeah When I could’ve been making it, oh I guess that I lost my sight, I was way too young Doubting what’s in my mind, before I could learn Still try’na figure it out, oh It’s all that I’m thinking about, ooh [Pre-Chorus 1] I’m gonna take it for what it’s worth Put in the hours ’til I have earned it Show everybody what I deserve, woah yeah [Chorus] Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build an empire, empire [Verse 2] Everyone in this game, we lie too much Say ‘we’re doing it for the love, only for the love’ But I’m not ashamed to say, yeah That I wanna be rich someday, ooh Never had it when I was a kid Mum and Dad working double shifts Kinda hard on relationships, oh [Pre-Chorus 2] But I’m gonna show them just what we’re worth I’m gonna put in the work, yeah [Chorus] Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build a castle in my head And a kingdom from my bed, oh [Bridge] Making sacrifices I gotta make We sailed on the times, wish I could’ve stayed Breaking my heart into pieces when I go away, watching it fade Gonna build an empire, ooh Gonna build an empire, yeah oh [Chorus] Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build a castle in my head And a kingdom from my bed Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build a castle in my head And a kingdom from my bed, oh oh
