Lyrics

[00:05.25] Tune in to find my peace and solitude
[00:08.88] These empty rooms spin, and I embrace the flaws of being human
[00:14.09] The black and white... and sometimes the greys that stay for days
[00:18.53] The in between times
[00:20.02] The meantimes that make this song of life sing
[00:23.62] Play, rest, repeat, read exactly what is written on the sheet
[00:29.99] "Don't deviate," they say
[00:32.01] But I will play what's best for me
[00:35.87] I'll press the keys and pull the strings
[00:38.01] Create a symphony that's mine
[00:42.03] And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
[00:51.05] And the verses I write will speak for me
[00:57.12] Good girls don't make history
[01:00.10] So I may never be what you assume
[01:03.00] Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
[01:05.31] If I'm off-key then that's alright with me
[01:09.34] Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
[01:13.80] My song will carry on
[01:15.25] Let go
[01:16.40] I let my voice be heard, then listen for the echo
[01:20.94] My own reverb is playing
[01:23.34] Cause I'm a movement
[01:25.40] There's dissonance, sometimes I make mistakes
[01:28.16] Oh I'm human after all, I'm not your expectations
[01:33.35] But play, rest, repeat, that's what they ask of me
[01:37.87] Just stick to this melody and stay between the lines
[01:42.14] But I'll play what's best for me
[01:45.66] I'll ring the bells and crash the symbols
[01:48.39] My harmonious design
[01:51.90] And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
[02:01.06] And the verse I write will speak for me
[02:07.19] Good girls don't make history
[02:10.04] So I may never be what you assume
[02:12.87] Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
[02:15.19] If I'm off-key then that's alright with me
[02:19.65] Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
[02:23.62] My song will carry on
[02:25.44] In my time here, I wanna be revered and remembered
[02:31.60] Oh let them say I came, I conquered
[02:35.02] So I won't fear and I can't blend in
[02:39.41] You can't replace me and you cannot erase me
[02:43.02] Cause my song will live on beyond time
[02:50.03] And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
[02:59.47] And the verses I write will speak for me
[03:04.97] Good girls don't make history
[03:07.67] So I may never be what you assume
[03:11.08] Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
[03:13.52] If I'm off-key then that's alright with me
[03:17.94] Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
[03:21.70] My song will carry on
[03:24.50] And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
[03:32.07] And the verse I write will speak for me
[03:37.97] Good girls don't make history
[03:41.01] So I may never be what you assume
[03:43.77] Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
[03:46.07] If I'm off-key then that's alright with me
[03:50.55] Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
[03:54.51] My song will carry on
