[Verse 1]
You walk in like a show
Too much smoke, too much glow
Mirror kiss on your ring
Need a crowd for your thing
You call it charm, I call it bait
You need applause to feel okay
I let you talk, I let you spin
While I count every way you thin
[Pre-Chorus]
You want the room
You want the throne
You want your name
Carved in bone
I learned your pace
I read your grin
Now every move
You make, I win
[Chorus]
Paper crown, paper crown
Watch it fall, watch it down
Paper crown, paper crown
You talk high, but I run this town
Paper crown, paper crown
I pull strings, you spin around
Paper crown, paper crown
Yeah, you clowned, now sit down
[Verse 2]
You love the blame when it feels cheap
Throwing stones while you sleep
I keep receipts in my mind
Every small crack, every lie
You puff up big in the dark
But I know where you park
All that noise, all that spark
Just a little kid with a bark
[Pre-Chorus]
You want the room
You want the throne
You want your name
Carved in bone
I learned your pace
I read your grin
Now every move
You make, I win
[Chorus]
Paper crown, paper crown
Watch it fall, watch it down
Paper crown, paper crown
You talk high, but I run this town
Paper crown, paper crown
I pull strings, you spin around
Paper crown, paper crown
Yeah, you clowned, now sit down
[Bridge]
Bet you hate being seen
When the shine starts to leak
When the mask hits the floor
And the laugh sounds weak
I don't need your parade
I don't need your crown
One more word from your mouth
And I cut you down
[Chorus]
Paper crown, paper crown
Watch it fall, watch it down
Paper crown, paper crown
You talk high, but I run this town
Paper crown, paper crown
I pull strings, you spin around
Paper crown, paper crown
Yeah, you clowned, now sit down
