Example Output

**VERSE 1** (ABAB) You said forever but you meant for now (A) Left me questioning what I did wrong (B) But I'm learning how to live somehow (A) Without your voice, I'll write my own song (B) **CHORUS** (AABA) I'm stronger than I ever knew (A) Rising up from what you put me through (A) No more tears, no more feeling blue (A) I'm stronger, stronger than I ever knew (A) **VERSE 2** (ABAB) Mirror shows a face I recognize (A) Not the girl who begged you not to go (B) See the fire burning in my eyes (A) Now I'm ready for the world to know (B) **Analysis:** The ABAB rhyme scheme in verses creates forward momentum, while the AABA chorus pattern reinforces the empowering message through repetition. Internal rhymes like "forever/never" add musicality. The consistent meter makes it singable, and the progression from vulnerability to strength creates a compelling emotional journey perfect for pop-rock's uplifting energy.
