[Verse 1]
Textbooks stacked like prison walls
In this Kadıköy apartment that feels too small
Father's voice echoes down the hall
"Excellence is duty, don't you dare to fall"
But something's crackin' in my mind tonight
These expectations squeeze too tight
[Chorus]
I'm not your perfect little girl anymore
Breaking free from what you had in store
Watch me shatter every golden rule
I'd rather dance than be your study tool
(Your perfect little girl)
Not anymore, not anymore
[Verse 2]
Grandma's broken oud collects the dust
While I collect the pieces of my trust
Nineteen years of "you must, you must"
Till all your dreams turned into rust
Every grade, every test, every prize
Were just chains in perfect disguise
[Bridge]
The walls are speaking Turkish lullabies
But I'm done with all these pretty lies
Feel the bass shake this house of cards
Your control is falling apart
Watch me rise from these sacred ashes
As your power crashes, crashes
[Chorus]
I'm not your perfect little girl anymore
Breaking free from what you had in store
Watch me shatter every golden rule
I'd rather dance than be your study tool
(Your perfect little girl)
Not anymore, not anymore
[Verse 3]
Every melody becomes my shield
Every beat helps these wounds get healed
Your expectations start to yield
As my true self is revealed
In this night of neon revelations
I'm dancing through your limitations
[Outro]
The morning light breaks through my window
And I'm not sorry that I let go
Of your perfectly planned tomorrow
'Cause this freedom tastes so sweet, you know
(Sweet, so sweet)
And I'm finally complete, you know
(Complete, so complete)
