[Verse 1]
Diamond of the season
Wrapped in lilac and control
Mama counting titles
Like they’re coins in a velvet bowl
Gloves up to my elbows
Fan hiding what my eyes show
Every bow
Every curtsy
Just another little high-stakes show
[Chorus]
In this season of proposals
Who’s choosing who?
Am I the prize on the table
Or am I choosing you?
Turn the ballroom to a battlefield
With a glance across the room
In this season of proposals
Watch me rewrite the rules
[Verse 2]
Waltzing with a viscount
Whose heart’s in last year’s war
Marquess talks investments
Never looked a girl like me in the eyes before
Silk on my shoulders
Armor
Pearls like planets round my throat
I am not your quiet ending
I’m the scandal that you never wrote
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Let them whisper in the gallery
About the girl with the foreign name
With the cousin from the colonies
And a lady in a sapphire cane
We trade secrets in the carriage
Magic humming in the floorboards low
[whispered vocals] We enchant our own advantage
Make their old blood overflow
[Chorus]
