SAYONARA

[Verse 1 – calm, steady beat enters softly] I tried to be the version That would make you proud of me I wore it like a uniform So carefully Measured every sentence Watched the way I stood I thought if I performed it right You’d say I’m good ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – slight lift] But chasing what you wanted Was slowly breaking mine I kept adjusting who I was To fit inside your lines ⸻ [Chorus – controlled power] Sayonara To the weight I used to hold Sayonara To the story I was told I don’t need your blueprint I don’t need that mold No hard feelings I just outgrew The fear Of not being enough for you Sayonara ⸻ [Verse 2 – slightly fuller production] I’m not angry I’m just done Explaining who I am I don’t owe the world A safer version Of my plans If love is only given When I’m easy to defend Then I choose myself Before I bend ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2] I won’t shrink to fit A narrow frame I won’t trade my breath For a different name ⸻ [Final Chorus – subtle bloom, not explosive] Sayonara To the voice inside my head Sayonara To the things I never said I’m not walking backward I’m not misled No resentment No more fight I’m stepping forward Into my life Sayonara ⸻ [Outro – minimal instrumental, confident] You can keep the expectation I’ll keep my peace
