Lyrics

I used
to believe
happiness
was a destination.
A final chord.
A place
where music
would finally
stop
asking questions.
I was wrong.
I was wrong.
Every beautiful
thing
I’ve ever lived
arrived
without announcing
its key.
One ordinary
morning.
One unexpected
conversation.
One laugh
that quietly
changed
the harmony
of an entire
year.
Perhaps
that’s why
maps
have never
found it.
They only
know
how to measure
distance.
Not wonder.
Happiness
is
an unexpected
modulation.
The moment
life
changes
key…
without asking
permission.
And suddenly
everything
you thought
was ending…
becomes
the beginning
of another
song.
Looking back,
I notice
a strange
pattern.
The moments
I planned
with perfect
precision…
rarely
became
my favourites.
The ones
that stayed
arrived
wearing
the clothes
of coincidence.
The universe
never
handed me
certainty.
Only
small
surprises.
Enough
to keep
my heart
curious.
Enough
to remind me
that beauty
has never
followed
an itinerary.
Every musician
knows
this feeling.
You’re certain
the song
will resolve
one way…
Then
one impossible
chord
appears.
For a second…
everything
feels
wrong.
Until
it suddenly
becomes
more beautiful
than
what you
expected.
Maybe
that’s
what growing up
really is.
Learning
not to fear
the new
key.
Happiness
was never
waiting
at the end
of the road.
It was hiding
inside
every
unexpected
modulation.
Every change
I resisted.
Every door
I almost
didn’t
open.
Every version
of myself
I never
planned
to become.
So now…
when life
changes
key…
I don’t
panic
the way
I used to.
I simply
listen.
Because
the most
beautiful
part
of the music
has always
begun
the moment
I realised…
I was no longer
playing
the same
song.
