Verse 1:
She was an angel
But she chronically followed demonically hollow people
Ripping her off like a hangnail, so painful
And when the rain fell, her face would face the sky
Looking up wondering, “Why oh why must I be denied
This love that I've asked for, that I need and have walked on glass for?”
Her passport had many a stamp, and many were ramps to a last resort
Consort with the shadowy habits
Of running away from everything that was just close enough to grab it
Front of her face, ride under nose
But she could never smell joy
Only ever caught a whiff if it was from a boy
Or a dude, or a guy
Or a man, and she'd cry cause every male failed to fill the void
Left by the father that crept off
Stepped, wept, and accepted his next life, next wife
Kept adept at steppin' to the next light
While leaving her swept by the next strife
Wow, there was so much she needed
So much she didn't get, so much repeated
All the bad boys she thought she could turn good
Bad choices left her like burnt wood
Had poise until she ran from it to be vain
Had poison, vanity to the veins
Too physically attractive for her own good
She didn't typically accept the fact
Of all the things she could be, the things she could see
Without viewing love from the sidelines of insecurity and inability
But she wouldn't believe like, “Love isn't for me.”
Hook:
Bad things for a good girl
Looking for warmth in a cold world
She needs that love but doesn't think she deserves it
So it goes with a goddess that doesn't know she is worth it
You're worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
You're a goddess and that part of you is something you can't forfeit
Cause you're worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
You're God's daughter and you've gotta know you're worth it
Verse 2:
How could she run away when it's herself she's running from?
How could her heart thump again after many a day of pumping none?
No love, no light, no sun
Just blood and strife she shunned
Any kind of life where the outcome
Came with an income of love she hadn't won
How come she'd take a step, thinking “maybe this guy will take my breath,”
But then he'd take her best, and leave her left
All dry like chalk, just a box he checked?
Another lonely day full of distant gazes
Out the window, crescendo phases
Cause the height of her life was right now
But the hype died with her unpaid love wages
Her eyes were preoccupied
By these images of women that seemed to be divine
But she denied the scene deep inside
Of a goddess that was caught in a bind of these lies
“I'm just not beautiful. I feel like no one wants me.”
She wanted to be new and full
But she felt like dirty laundry
So it goes with a goddess that has amnesia
Chasing her born identity, “it's got to have the keys to
This stupid crazy love, that cupid raises up,”
If you're a goddess out there hurting then to you I raise my cup
You're worth it

Bridge:
The need she knew she had wasn't new
It was seen by every girl in the world, a universal view
The search that she went through, I'm sure that you've gone through it too
Just know that you are worth more than I could ever write, my words won't do
The need she knew she had wasn't new
It was seen by every girl in the world, a universal view
The search that she went through, I'm sure that you've gone through it too
Just know that you are worth more than I could ever write, my words won't do
