Verse 1 (Tory Lanez)
I’ve been counting shadows in an empty room (yeah…)
Fame’s a candle burning, leaving only gloom (ooh…)
You see the chains, the gold, the shine
But not the cracks I hide behind
Every night I touch the sky and fall
Every story I tell, there’s a missing call
Pre-Chorus (Tory Lanez)
I don’t need the world to know my name (nah…)
I just need a love that stays the same (yeah…)
If the night ends, let it linger slow
I’m broken here, but I won’t let go (ah…)
Chorus (Tory Lanez + Kehlani harmonies)
Shattered crown, walking through the fire (fire…)
Gold outside, inside I’m wire (ooh…)
Every step, I feel the weight (feel the weight…)
Lost in dreams I can’t recreate (recreate…)
Shattered crown, but I still survive (I survive…)
Broken pieces keeping me alive (alive…)
Every night, every fight, every vow
I’m just me… with a shattered crown (yeah…)
Verse 2 (Kehlani)
I remember when your heart was free (so free…)
Every word between us, like a melody (melody…)
I see the shine, I feel the cracks inside
The parts you hide, the tears you never cry
I write my love in colors and keys (ooh…)
Hoping you feel every drop of me (feel me…)
Every chapter missing, every truth untold
Still I rise, still I hold
Pre-Chorus (Tory Lanez & Kehlani harmonies)
I don’t need the world to know my name (nah…)
I just need a love that stays the same (yeah…)
If the night ends, let it linger slow
We’re broken here, but we won’t let go (ah…)
Chorus (Duet, Tory Lanez lead, Kehlani harmony + ad-libs)
Shattered crown, walking through the fire (fire…)
Gold outside, inside I’m wire (ooh…)
Every step, I feel the weight (feel the weight…)
Lost in dreams I can’t recreate (recreate…)
Shattered crown, but I still survive (I survive…)
Broken pieces keeping me alive (alive…)
Every night, every fight, every vow
We’re just two souls with a shattered crown (yeah…)
