​[Intro]
(Acoustic guitar and a distant accordion, sounds of a Parisian cafe)
​[Verse 1]
I wore my favorite dress, the vintage silk
And eyes as soft as morning milk.
I waited forty minutes, maybe more
While shadows danced across the bistro floor.
He arrived with a "sorry" that felt like a lie
Didn't even look me in the eye.
Just talked about his stats and digital dreams
While my heart was quiet, tearing at the seams.
​[Chorus]
Oh, I’m the girl who always says "please"
In a world that’s brought to its cynical knees.
Too polite to scream, too kind to fight
I just fold my napkin and say "goodnight".
A modern look with a vintage soul
Trying to make a broken promise whole.
​[Verse 2]
I’m a "modern girl", or so they say
But I still believe in the old-fashioned way.
He checked his watch and followed the crowd
While I stood silent, feeling too loud.
I’m "too much" for some, "too soft" for the rest
Giving my heart like a final test.
Another "no cap" love that turned out fake
Another lonely path I have to take.
​[Bridge]
(Music swells, strings become more prominent)
They say I’m delulu, they say I’m too sweet
For the cold hard concrete of a city street.
But I won't turn bitter, I won't turn cold
My story’s a classic that’s yet to be told.
​[Transition - The Mirror Scene]
(The rhythm lightens, a bright piano melody begins)
I walk through the door, kick off my heels
And let myself feel how a heartbreak feels.
But then I stop... I look in the glass...
And watch the shadows finally pass.
​[Final Verse]
I fix my hair, I wipe the trace of a tear
There’s no room for doubt, there’s no room for fear.
I’m a limited edition, a rare kind of find
With a clever heart and a gentle mind.
​[Outro]
(She smiles at her reflection)
You know what? I’m actually doing fine.
I’ll find my match, or he’ll find mine.
(Humming a bright melody)
Au revoir, Monsieur "Wrong"...
The right one is coming along.
(Fade out with a playful accordion lick)
