Good girl gone

Intro – spoken

I did everything right...

For so long...

But I'm done.

Verse 1

I wore the smile they wanted

Said the words they liked to hear

Played the role so perfectly

Year after year after year

Kept my voice a little quieter

Kept my dreams a little small

But something's breaking underneath

And I can't hold it in at all

Pre-Chorus

I've been good, I've been careful

I've been everything but free

Chorus

I'm a good girl gone

No more perfect, no more role

I'm a good girl gone

Taking back what they controlled

No more biting down

No more playing small

I'm a good girl gone

And I'm done with it all

Verse 2

I followed every expectation

Bent myself until I broke

Tried to fit inside the picture

That they painted stroke by stroke

Now the edges start to crack

And the silence feels too loud

I'm done pretending this is living

I'm done making everyone proud

Pre-Chorus

I've been good, I've been careful

I've been everything but free

Chorus

I'm a good girl gone

No more perfect, no more role

I'm a good girl gone

Taking back what they controlled

No more biting down

No more playing small

I'm a good girl gone

And I'm done with it all

Bridge

I don't need permission

I don't need their praise

I don't need to shrink myself

Just to make it through the days

Final Chorus

I'm a good girl gone

No more perfect, no more role

I'm a good girl gone

Taking back what they controlled

No more biting down

No more playing small

I'm a good girl gone

And I'm done with it all

I'm a good girl gone...

Yeah, I'm done with it all
