[Intro] Stars are just wishes come true Yeah [Chorus 1] I used to worship at your altar Underneath the covers I used to worship at your altar I used to think I was your lover [Post-Chorus] So what did I do? Was it my fault? Could I have changed it? And why did you go? It's not like you're blameless You should be ashamed of how you behaved Making that thing some kind of game Holding my hand, telling me meet me in five years (I use to worship, at your altar) Five years [Verse 1] But you're a different kind of person Not the person that I once knew Not the girl I fell in love with Not the god I made you into [Bridge] You do what you want Sleep with who you want I can't stop you Even if I try, the whole time, you will lie Then you give me one more line about doing lines You say that you're just living your life That I should do my time, but I already did my time [Chorus 2] I used to worship at your altar I thought you'd wash away my pain Thought your name made you a river After all it's just a name [Post-Chorus 2} So what did I do? Was it my fault? Could I have changed it? And why did you go? It's not like you're blameless Was it my fault? Could I have changed it? [Bridge] You do what you want Sleep with who you want I can't stop you Even if I try, the whole time, you will lie Then you give me one more line about doing lines You're on my mind [Breakdown] Oh, yeah, that's right, but I am fine Yeah, I'm alive, I'm alive I won't worship at your shrine again And no I do not want to be your friend I feel relieved to know that one day all of this will end Such a weight off of my shoulders Momma told us, "Remember, you're not infinite It's better not to speak and maybe you should get to listening Don't you worry about the money, honey, or the internet Cause you're alive, cause you're alive Baby, you're alive." No need to worship at an altar No need to worship at an altar
