Adelle Hart - Broken Metronome Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tick-tock, your perfect little soldier
Following the rules you set in stone
Every note, a chain around my shoulders
Till I couldn't hear my soul's own tone
Marcus said I'd never make it solo
If I stepped outside your golden cage
Now these fingers shake, they won't control, oh
Time to tear up every pristine page

[Chorus]
I'm your broken metronome
Counting beats that won't behave
Classical perfection's gone
These wild rhythms I must save
Darling, watch me fall apart
In the most beautiful way
Like sheet music in the wind
I'm finally okay

[Verse 2]
Masterclass disaster, tears are falling
While they whisper "She has lost her way"
But their voices fade, my heart is calling
Through the cracks of who I used to be
Pristine posture, pretty little puppet
Dancing to somebody else's dream
Had to lose my mind to finally love it
Now I'm swimming in this wild stream

[Bridge]
Let it crash, let it burn
Watch me break every rule I learned
Sweet disorder sets me free
From the girl I'll never be

[Chorus]
I'm your broken metronome
Counting beats that won't behave
Classical perfection's gone
These wild rhythms I must save
Darling, watch me fall apart
In the most beautiful way
Like sheet music in the wind
I'm finally okay

[Outro]
The silence between beats
Is where I found my peace
No more perfect time
Just this heart of mine
