Lyrics
Tune in to find my peace and solitude
These empty rooms spin, and I embrace the flaws of being human
The black and white
And sometimes the greys that stay for days
The in between times
The meantime that make this song of life sing
Play, rest, repeat, read exactly what is written on the sheet
"Don't deviate" they say
But I will play what's best for me
I'll press the keys and pull the strings
Create a symphony that's mine
And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
And the verses I write will speak for me
Good girls don't make history
So I may never be what you assume
Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
If I'm off-key, then that's alright with me
Oh, and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
My song will carry on
Let go
I let my voice be heard, then listen for the echo
My own reverb is playing
'Cause I'm a movement
There's dissonance, sometimes I make mistakes
Oh, I'm human after all, I'm not your expectations
But play, rest, repeat, that's what they ask of me
Just stick to this melody and stay between the lines
But I'll play what's best for me
I'll ring the bells and crash the symbols
My harmonious design
And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
And the verses I write will speak for me
Good girls don't make history
So I may never be what you assume
Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
If I'm off-key, then that's alright with me
Oh, and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
My song will carry on
In my time here, I wanna be revered and remembered
Oh, let 'em say I came, I conquered
So I won't fear, and I can't blend in
You can't replace me and you cannot erase me
'Cause my song will live on beyond time
And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
And the verses I write will speak for me
Good girls don't make history
So I may never be what you assume
Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
If I'm off-key, then that's alright with me
Oh, and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
My song will carry on
And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
And the verses I write will speak for me
Good girls don't make history
So I may never be what you assume
Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
If I'm off-key, then that's alright with me
Oh, and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
My song will carry on
