[Intro] [slap bass enters, funk guitar scratches, electronic drum beat] (Ah-ah-ah-ah) But you had me figured out Didn't you? [Verse 1] [bass continues, muted guitar chords] Saw you last night across the room You looked surprised like I walked out of a fever dream Thought I'd be weeping, stuck in the blues But honey, I'm sparkling, breaking all your rules [Pre-Chorus] [synth pads swell, snare builds] Guess the glow-up hit you harder than my goodbye Didn't expect to see me thriving, reaching for the sky [Chorus] [full arrangement, bright synth chords] I'm the main character, a diamond in the rough You play the villain, baby, didn't get enough Now I'm shining iridescent, catch me if you can This ain't a comeback story, this is just the master plan Yeah, I'm doing better, darling, living my best life No longer your shadow, stepping into the light I'm thriving without you What's a girl to do? [bass fill] (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Yeah, I'm better off, it's true [Verse 2] [drums drop to kick and shaker, staccato bass] Heard through the grapevine you're still stuck in the past Comparing every new thing to what we had, that's a blast While you're reminiscing, I'm collecting new stamps Turning heartbreak into fire, lighting up the lamps [Pre-Chorus] [guitar enters with rhythmic strums] Bet you're kicking yourself now, watching me walk away With a new confidence stealing all your thunder today [Chorus] [heavy synth bass, driving beat] You thought I'd crumble, turn to dust and disappear But look at me now, darling, standing crystal clear I've upgraded my whole world from zero to a ten You're just a footnote in my story, never coming back again Yeah, I'm thriving, watch me sparkle, watch me really gleam Turns out losing you was just part of the winning team I'm thriving without you What's a girl to do? [vocal ad-lib] (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Yeah, I'm better off, it's true [Bridge] [filtered synth, kick drum pulse] Used to think my universe revolved around your sun But then I learned to orbit solo, now I'm having fun No more dimming my own light to make you feel tall I'm building my own empire, standing ten feet tall [snare roll build-up] So go ahead and wonder, go ahead and stare 'Cause this glow-up isn't fading, darling, I don't care [Chorus] [climax, high energy, synth lead melody] So I'm the headline, baby, you're the broken news No more playing second best, I've got nothing to lose I'm a supernova, bright and bold, a dazzling display You had your chance to keep me, now I'm miles away Yeah, I'm doing better, darling, living my best life No longer your shadow, stepping into the light I'm thriving without you [Outro] [bass solo riff] What's a girl to do? (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Someone's faded (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Yeah, I'm better off, it's true [final synth chord rings out]
