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 should've been making it, oh
Guess that I lost my sight, I was way too young
Doubting what's in my mind
I guess I'll never 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
Cause 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 they'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 the sacrifices I've gotta make
Missing out 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
