My Song Lyrics - Alessia Cara

1 Tune in to find my peace and solitude

2 These empty rooms spin, and I embrace the flaws of being human

3 The black and white... and sometimes the greys that stay for days

4 The in between time

5 The meantime that make this song of life sing

6 Play, rest, repeat, read exactly what is written on the sheet

7 "Don't deviate, " they say

8 But I will play what's best for me

9 I'll press the keys and pull the strings

10 Create a symphony that's mine

11 And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song

12 And the verses I write will speak for me

13 Good girls don't make history

14 So I may never be what you assume

15 Don't want your hooks or auto-tune

16 If I'm off-key then that's alright with me

17 Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone

18 My song will carry on

19 Let go

20 I let my voice be heard, then listen for the echo

21 My own reverb is playing

22 'Cause I'm a movement

23 There's dissonance, sometimes I make mistakes

24 So I'm human after all, I'm not your expectations

25 But play, rest, repeat, that's what they ask of me

26 Just stick to this melody and stay between the lines

27 But I'll play what's best for me

28 I'll ring the bells and crash the cymbals

29 My harmonious desire

30 And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song

31 And the verses I write will speak for me

32 Good girls don't make history

33 So I may never be what you assume

34 Don't want your hooks or auto-tune

35 If I'm off-key then that's alright with me

36 Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone

37 My song will carry on

38 In my time here, I wanna be revered and remembered

39 Oh let them say I came, I conquered

40 So I won't fear and I can't blend in

41 You can't replace me and you cannot erase me

42 'Cause my song will live on beyond time

43 And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song

44 And the verses I write will speak for me

45 Good girls don't make history

46 So I may never be what you assume

47 Don't want your hooks or auto-tune

48 If I'm off-key then that's alright with me

49 Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone

50 My song will carry on

51 And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song

52 And the verses I write will speak for me

53 Good girls don't make history

54 So I may never be what you assume

55 Don't want your hooks or auto-tune

56 If I'm off-key then that's alright with me

57 Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone

58 My song will carry on
