Dramatic

Intro

(Spoken over delicate piano, then strings creep in)

They love to call me dramatic…

Like it’s a bad thing.

Honey, I was born in the storm.

Watch me make lightning look pretty.

Verse 1

I walk in the room, temperature shifts

Every eye on me, yeah, I know what it is

They whisper “extra,” I smile and flip my hair

If feeling everything deeply is a crime, lock me up right there

I cry in the mirror, then wipe off the pain

Turn tears into diamonds, wear ‘em in the rain

You call it a scene, I call it my truth

I don’t do quiet, I was built for the proof

Pre-Chorus

You say I’m too much, I say you’re too small

Can’t handle the fire, don’t answer the call

I rise from the ashes, heels ten feet tall

Watch me turn the drama into protocol

Chorus

I’m dramatic, dramatic—bow down to the show

Every heartbeat a drumline, everywhere that I go

Tears fall like confetti, pain turns to gold

I’m dramatic, dramatic—queen of the overload

Love me or leave me, but don’t dim the lights

I shine in the chaos, I thrive in the fight

Dramatic, dramatic—watch me own the night

Yeah, I’m dramatic… and it feels so right

Verse 2

You tried to play small, keep me in the background

But silence ain’t my language, I speak thunder out loud

Every scar got a story, every wound got a crown

I wear all my feelings like a custom gown

They say “calm down,” I turn up the sound

If passion’s a problem, I’ll burn the whole town

I love too hard, fight too fierce

But I’d rather break open than live in arrears

Pre-Chorus

You say I’m too much, I say you’re too scared

Can’t ride in the whirlwind, then stay over there

I’m the storm and the shelter, the wound and the prayer

Watch me turn the drama into millionaire

Chorus

I’m dramatic, dramatic—bow down to the show

Every heartbeat a drumline, everywhere that I go

Tears fall like confetti, pain turns to gold

I’m dramatic, dramatic—queen of the overload

Love me or leave me, but don’t dim the lights

I shine in the chaos, I thrive in the fight

Dramatic, dramatic—watch me own the night

Yeah, I’m dramatic… and it feels so right

Bridge (Beat strips down to piano + handclaps, then builds)

If I’m too loud, turn the volume down on your fear

If I’m too real, maybe look in the mirror

I feel oceans, you feel puddles—difference clear

But this heart beats thunder, so everybody hear…

(Ad-libs: Ohhh-oh-oh, yes I am… I am… I AM!)

Final Chorus (Key change up, full choir, horns blazing)

I’m dramatic, dramatic—bow down to the show (bow down!)

Every heartbeat a drumline, everywhere that I go (everywhere!)

Tears fall like confetti, pain turns to gold (pure gold!)

I’m dramatic, dramatic—queen of the overload

Love me or leave me, but don’t dim the lights (never!)

I shine in the chaos, I thrive in the fight (I thrive!)

Dramatic, dramatic—watch me own the night

Yeah, I’m dramatic… and it feels so right

(Dramatic… dramatic… feels so right)

Outro (Layered harmonies, fading orchestra)

Call me dramatic…

I’ll take it as a compliment.

Yeah…

Queen.
