[Verse 1] Red lipstick on the glass, leave a mark before I go, Got the room hanging on every word I never show. They want a taste of power, want a piece of what I've found, But nothing comes for free when you're the queen of this town. Velvet on my shoulders, diamonds dripping down my skin, Every eye is watching, wondering where I've been. I don't need to chase attention, it follows when I walk, A little mystery is louder than a lot of talk. [Pre-Chorus] You keep looking my way, Like you want to know my secrets. But baby, if I told you everything, You might be begging for more. [Chorus] Heavy is the crown sitting pretty on my head, Got you staring at my throne while you're hanging on what I said. Every jewel's a warning, every shine's a little sin, If you want to touch the queen, you've gotta earn your way in. Heavy is the crown, but I wear it like a kiss, Like danger wrapped in velvet, like a dream you can't resist. The weight was made for me, I don't need to hide it now, Everybody wants the queen— Heavy is the crown. [Verse 2] I know what they're saying when they think I can't hear, That confidence looks dangerous when it's dressed in sin, I smile across the room and watch their composure break, They fall in love with fantasies they helped themselves create. Black silk, gold chains, got the city in my hands, One look across the room, you're forgetting where you stand. You can chase the thrill forever, but you'll never know it all, Everybody wants the queen— That's exactly why they fall. [Chorus] Heavy is the crown sitting pretty on my head, Got you staring at my throne while you're hanging on what I said. Every jewel's a warning, every shine's a little sin, If you want to touch the queen, you've gotta earn your way in. Heavy is the crown, but I wear it like a kiss, Like danger wrapped in velvet, like a dream you can't resist. The weight was made for me, I don't need to hide it now, Everybody wants the queen— Heavy is the crown. [Bridge] Come a little closer, Let me show you how it feels. To want something untouchable, To chase something unreal. You see the crown shining, But you don't see the scars. The sweetest things are always hidden Behind velvet bars. [Final Chorus] Heavy is the crown sitting pretty on my head, Every king who ever wanted me still remembers what I said. Every jewel's a warning, every shine's a little sin, If you want to touch the queen, you've gotta earn your way in. Heavy is the crown, but I wear it with a smile, Like temptation in designer heels, like trouble with style. The weight was made for me, I don't need to hide it now, Everybody wants the queen— But nobody can wear the crown.
