Laufey Goddess

AlphabetLyrics.com

It always goes like this
Could've predicted it
I'm so naive to think you loved me for me
Kissed as I ran off stage
Too old to play this game
Guess you're still growing up at thirty.

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh...
Were you surprised by me?
When you took me home
When the glamor wore off
Reduced to skin and bone
I can't even tell
Who you want to know
I'm a goddess on stage
Human when we're alone.

You took a star to bed
Woke up with me instead
You must have felt so damn deceived
When you
Made up a version of
Me that you thought you'd love
But I am not your aphrodite.

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Were you surprised by me?
When you took me home
When the glamour wore off
Reduced to skin and bone
I can't even tell
Who you want to know
I'm a goddess on stage
Human when we're alone.

You took me for a fool
You stole my youth
You wanted this so much
You watched me rise
Then killed my light
And now you know
I'm not your fucking goddess.

Ooh-oh...
Oh-oh...
I'm no goddess when I'm alone.
