​[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)
