"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

Bebe Rexha - "Gone" Numb me down to the core
'Cause love don't live here anymore
And we fought hard but we lost the war
Without you, what am I living for?
And I know I can't take back all the things I did
But if I had...
James TW - "When You Love Someone" Come home early after class
Don't be hanging 'round the back
Of the schoolyard
I've been called up by your teacher
She said she can't even reach you
'cause you're so far
You've been talking with...
Maisie Peters - "Favourite Ex" It was open and closing
And hopelessly hoping for sure
We were here, we were ghosting
Both of us coasting on, just
Give a little more
It was all out my hands
When you pulled the trigger
And I kissed...
Lennon Stella - "Kissing Other People" You know the club shuts down
When the lights come on
You know the game is done
When somebody wins
And when the days get cold
Put away your summer clothes
Don't have to ask yourself
When did it end...
ZAYN - "Unfuckwitable" I'm unfuckwitable
In a world of my own
That's why my shoulder's so cold
I'm unfuckwitable
So tired of fake friends
And fake love, you know
No time for no lie
And I'm here to show
I found a way...
