About

pop, Bright K-pop ballad with female vocals, gentle piano and airy synth pads at first; verses stay intimate with close-mic vocal and subtle bass swells, Pre-chorus adds glistening arps and rising tom fills, then chorus explodes into crisp drums, layered harmonies, and shimmering side-chained pads, Second chorus hits harder with octave doubles and ad-lib runs; bridge strips to piano and vocal before a final lift with stacked choir-esque backing and a delayed vocal tag, k-pop, vocal

Lyrics

Verse 1

Floorboards

Cracking under the weight of it

Heavy

Silver trophies gather gray dust

Same old

Same old pattern

Falling

Everything is falling down

Chorus

Expectations crumbling

Crumbling

Let it all go

I don't need to be perfect

I don't need to be perfect

Watch the walls

Falling

Crumbling

Just let it break

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Break it all down

La la la

Break it all down

Verse 2

Paper

Tearing through the middle

Quiet

Burning bridges and bitter bonds

Tired

Tired of the climb

Higher

Higher was a lie

Run

Away

Far from the noise

Far from the choice

Chorus

Expectations crumbling

Crumbling

Let it all go

I don't need to be perfect

I don't need to be perfect

Watch the walls

Falling

Crumbling

Just let it break

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Break it all down

La la la

Break it all down

Bridge

No more rules

No more plans

No more fears

The dust clears

The glass breaks

The heart wakes

I am breathing for the first time

I am breathing for the first time

Chorus

Expectations crumbling

Crumbling

Let it all go

I don't need to be perfect

I don't need to be perfect

Watch the walls

Falling

Crumbling

Just let it break

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Break it all down

La la la

Break it all down

Outro

Let it fall

Let it fall

It's okay now

It's okay now

Finally
