"My Song" lyrics

"My Song"

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 time
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 cymbals
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 them 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
