[Intro: Strings swell, pads soft, guitar arpeggio, drums light]
C–G–Am–F
(No lyrics, instrumental)
[Verse 1: Pads soft, bass root, drums light, vocal airy]
C G
Why do I keep checking the mirror, like it owes me an answer?
Am F
You’re gone but your shadow still argues in my reflection
C G
I sip my coffee, your favorite mug sits untouched
Am F
Funny how all your rules never applied to me anyway
[Pre-Chorus: Pads swell, bass rhythmic, drums build, vocal strong]
Am F
I start laughing at the scripts I used to follow
C G
No one handed me a trophy, so I made my own
Am F
Your whispers feel like old vinyl scratches
C G
And I’m dancing over them, barefoot, unapologetic
[Chorus: Pads brighter, strings lush, drums steady, vocal energetic]
C G
Mirror, mirror, stop rolling your eyes
Am F
I’ve got a life that’s messy and mine
C G
I won’t replay, I won’t rehearse
Am F
I’m here, loud, and I’ve broken your curse
[Verse 2: Same as Verse 1]
C G
Walk past the bookstore where you loved to linger
Am F
Smell of rain, old books, and my hair in the wind
C G
I grin at the mirror, and it finally smiles back
Am F
I’m the plot twist you didn’t see coming
[Bridge: Strings crescendo, bass rhythmic, drums dynamic, vocal soaring]
Am F
No thank-you notes, no excuses, no blueprint
C G
I write the margins, doodle my own fate
Am F
I spill my lipstick, I spill my truth
C G
I’m the hero and the chaos all at once
[Chorus/Outro: Pads + strings full, drums steady, guitar rhythmic, vocal strong]
C G
Mirror, mirror, stop rolling your eyes
Am F
I’ve got a life that’s messy and mine
C G
I won’t replay, I won’t rehearse
Am F
I’m here, loud, and I’ve broken your curse
[Outro: Strings fade, pads linger, drums soft]
C–G–Am–F
