[Verse 1] Found a crown in the rain Cardboard soaked, still stayed Put it on my head like faith Kids on the curb went, Wait Blue pen stars on the side Bent one corner, kept my pride I was broke, but I could grin Turned that trash into a win [Pre-Chorus] Say my name, I might shine One cheap frame can hold a sky If it falls, I build again I make gold out of thin air [Chorus] Cardboard crown, hold on now Cardboard crown, I wear it loud Cardboard crown, still standing proud Cardboard crown, don't fold me now (hold on now) (don't fold me now) [Verse 2] Carried it through the crowd Pizza boxes on the ground Some laughed, then they leaned in Wanted proof that I could win I taped dreams to the back Took a hit, then I came back If the world won't hand me gold I can make my own from old [Pre-Chorus] Say my name, I might shine One cheap frame can hold a sky If it falls, I build again I make gold out of thin air [Chorus] Cardboard crown, hold on now Cardboard crown, I wear it loud Cardboard crown, still standing proud Cardboard crown, don't fold me now (hold on now) (don't fold me now) [Bridge] Maybe it's flimsy Maybe it's flawed Still on my head When the wind gets hard I don't need perfect I just need mine One little thing That says I'm fine [Final Chorus] Cardboard crown, hold on now Cardboard crown, I wear it loud Cardboard crown, still standing proud Cardboard crown, don't fold me now Cardboard crown, hold on now Cardboard crown, I wear it loud Cardboard crown, still standing proud Cardboard crown, don't fold me now
