(Verse 1)
Spotlight’s burning, I’m the girl of the hour,
They build me up just to watch me tower.
Every move, every glance, a headline to spin,
But they don’t know the war I’m fighting within.
Gilded cages, diamond chains,
A queen of glitter hiding her pain.
Smile for the cameras, flash that gold,
But behind the scenes, it’s a story untold.

​

(Pre-Chorus)
They love the rise, they crave the fall,
Whisper my name, they’re writing it on every wall.
I play the game, I wear the crown,
But the higher I climb, the harder they pull me down.

​

(Chorus)
Cameras and crowns, glitter and flames,
They’re watching me dance in their dangerous games.
I’m the darling, the villain, the headline they need,
A masterpiece made from the rumours they feed.
Oh, I shine, but it’s a double-edged throne,
Cameras and crowns, and I’m all alone.

​

(Verse 2)
Red carpets, flashing lights, the fever of fame,
But I’m just a mirror, reflecting their game.
They want perfection, a porcelain queen,
But I’m cracks and fire, I’m something unseen.
They love the spectacle, the glitter and fight,
But they’ll turn on me in the dead of night.
Fame’s a lover with a cruel, sharp kiss,
A kingdom built on chaos and bliss.

​

(Pre-Chorus)
They love the rise, they crave the fall,
Whisper my name, they’re writing it on every wall.
I play the game, I wear the crown,
But the higher I climb, the harder they pull me down.

​

(Chorus)
Cameras and crowns, glitter and flames,
They’re watching me dance in their dangerous games.
I’m the darling, the villain, the headline they need,
A masterpiece made from the rumours they feed.
Oh, I shine, but it’s a double-edged throne,
Cameras and crowns, and I’m all alone.

​

(Bridge)
Every smile’s a weapon, every laugh’s a shield,
In the war of attention, the truth is concealed.
But they don’t see the nights I break,
The cracks beneath the gloss they fake.
Oh, they want my crown, they want my fire,
But they can’t touch this empire.

​

(Chorus)
Cameras and crowns, glitter and flames,
They’re watching me dance in their dangerous games.
I’m the darling, the villain, the headline they need,
A masterpiece made from the rumours they feed.
Oh, I shine, but it’s a double-edged throne,
Cameras and crowns, and I’m all alone.

​

(Outro)
Fame’s a fantasy, a high-stakes fight,
It’s a starry sky with no end in sight.
I’ll play their game, I’ll wear the crown,
But I’ll never let them pull me down.
Cameras and crowns, love and disdain,
I’ll take their chaos, I’ll take the reigns.
