Goddess Album Lyrics
(Lyrics to the Full Album on one page)

Alibi

[Verse:]
Something, someone
Turned out to be
Something I should've known
Will be the death of me
Baby, I tried
I promise I'm usually better than this
And now I can't even recognize myself anymore
You turned me into this

[Chorus:]
Please, give me something to
Convince me that I am not a monster
Babe, give me one excuse
Give me one excuse

[Bridge:]
(Give me one...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...)

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
Give me one, give me one, oh oh
Give me one, oh oh yeah, give me one, oh oh yeah
Give me one, give me one, oh oh yeah
Give me one, oh oh, give me one, oh oh yeah

Goddess

She gave it all, you gave her shit
She coulda done, just anything
Or anyone, cause she's a goddess
You never got this
You put her down, you liked her hopeless
To walk around, feeling unnoticed
You shoulda crowned her, cause she's a goddess
You never got this

Now you gotta deal with this glitch on your shoulder
F*cking with a goddess and you get a little colder
Yea it's colder, colder
F*cking with a goddess, and you get a little colder

Finally surfaced above doubts
Feeling above this, she came around
Cause she's a goddess, finally saw this
And now you're back, trying to claim her
Cause she's gone and now without her
You're all alone, cause she's a goddess
You shoulda saw this

Now you gotta deal with this glitch on your shoulder
F*cking with a goddess and you get a little colder
Yea it's colder, colder
F*cking with a goddess, and you get a little colder
[x2]

Now you gotta deal with this glitch on your shoulder
You're f*cking with a goddess and you get a little colder
Yea you're colder, colder
You're f*cking with a goddess, and you get a little colder

Waiting Game

[Verse 1:]
I'm thinking it over
The way you make me feel all sexy but it's causing me shame
I wanna lean on your shoulder
I wish I was in love but I don't wanna cause any pain
And if I'm feeling like I'm evil, we've got nothing to gain

[Chorus:]
What if I never even see you cuz we're both on a stage
Don't tell me listen to your song because it isn't the same
I don't wanna say your love is a waiting game

[Verse 2:]
Baby I'm thinking it over
What if the way we started made it something cursed from the start
What if it only gets colder
Would you still wrap me up and tell me that you think this was smart
Cuz lately I've been scared of even thinking 'bout where we are

[Chorus x2]

Brain

But it's all the same
I could have foreseen
That you would act like you are
Oh so cool you seem
Blending with that scene
Wearing what you think is hard

I can see you struggling
Boy, don't hurt your brain
Thinking what you're gonna say
Cause everything's a game
Always trying to calculate
Trying to look smart but not too smart
To threaten anything they say

But it's all the same
I could have foreseen
That you would act like you are
Oh so cool you seem
Blending with that scene
Wearing what you think is hard

I can see you struggling
Boy, don't hurt your brain
Thinking what you're gonna say
Cause everything's a game
Always trying to calculate
Trying to look smart but not too smart
To threaten everything they say

This Is What It Feels Like

[Verse 1:]
I hang on everything that you say
You know I can see all the things that imply
You secretly are in love
And finally when I let myself fall hard for you
I see you trying to pretend
Like I'm making it up
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like

[Chorus:]
Bring it down, bring it on
Bring it now, bring it on
This is what it feels like now
It's getting old
Bring it down, bring it on

[Verse 2:]
Remember the first love that we made
You said that you couldn't sleep cause
Of me, told me
I caught you off guard
And then when you saw I felt the same
You pulled away
Started acting like being with me was too hard
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like

[Chorus x2]

You Should Know Where I'm Coming From

[Verse 1:]
What if I said I'd break your heart?
What if I said I have problems that made me, me?
What if I knew I would just rip your mind apart
Would you let me out?
Maybe you can stop before you start
Maybe you can see that I just may be too crazy to love
If I told you solitude fits me like a glove
Would you let me out?

[Chorus:]
You ought to know where I'm coming from
How I was alone when I burned my home
And all of the pieces were torn and thrown
You should know where I'm coming from

[Verse 2:]
What if I said I was just too young?
What if I said I was built on bricks of carelessness and crumbs
What if I said I'd be gone before I could come
Would you let me out?

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Your sought out ways
My own, my own
But you turn me away from my low blows
Boy, you should've known

[Chorus x2]

Stick

[Chorus: x2]
Cold shoulders
So sick are you make it come quick
Hard to demonstrate
So down for you, licorice stick

[Verse 1:]
I got to take you home
We're living in hard times, we're living in hard times
Baby, you think you know
I think it's about time, that you're gonna make me wild

[Pre-Chorus:]
Baby, you don't wanna leave
You'd be sorry, cause honestly
I can make you feel better, any day
Look at what you've done for me
I called it how I see
You belong with me

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 2:]
Tell me I got you, baby
I wanna know how you taste
I wanna know how you taste

Now that you keep me warm
Baby I call you fire
And maybe I'll be your fire

[Pre-Chorus:]
Baby, you don't wanna leave
You'd be sorry, cause honestly
I can make you feel better, any day
Look at what you've done for me
I called it how I see
You belong with me

[Chorus x2]

[Bridge: x4]
Tell her you love her, tell her you're down for
Tell her you're down for it

F*ck Em Only We Know

[Verse 1:]
I don't mind
Don't mind if everybody's far behind
Don't care if they can't understand the way
That you and I just want to be next to each other every day
You and I
We're just like magnets baby, hypnotized
Even addicted to your grumpy face
I know exactly just how many kisses fit between your eyes

[Chorus:]
I'd run away, I'd run away with you, would you run with me
Our life could be a little bumpy, but I'll hold on
Just wanna tell you that I see you, baby, do you see me
Cause this is special, baby
F*ck em only we know

[Verse 2:]
Did I say
You're all that matters to me anyway
I'd give up everything to see your face
So come on, let's pretend that no one else is watching while we play
By your side
That's where I have to be now, we won't hide
I breathe your kisses just to stay alive
I see exactly what you think
I can feel you with my eyes

[Bridge:]
Only we know
Only we know
Only we know
Oh...

[Chorus x2]

Drowning

[Verse 1:]
You tried to lie, I can see that you don't need me
(Need me don't need me, need me don't need me)
All of your words, they have been cursed with dishonesty
(With dishonesty, with dishonesty)

[Pre-Chorus:]
Take it from the girl you claimed to love
You gonna get some bad karma
I'm the one who had to learn to build a heart made of armor
From the girl who made you soup and tied your shoes when you were hurting
You are not deserving, you are not deserving

[Chorus:]
(Why would you stay?)
I can see that you wanted me cold
(Caught in the way)
You're so bold while you're watching me moan

[Verse 2:]
You tried to hide, I can see that you don't see me
(that you don't see me, that you don't see me)
What do you gain by the names that you're calling me?
(That you're calling me, that you're calling me)

[Pre-Chorus]

(Cause I'm drowning for ya)

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Holding out
Like you could pull me down
Cause I'm drowning for ya
(Cause I'm drowning for ya)
Cause I'm drowning for ya

[Outro x4:]
Can you follow me out to the water?
I can show you were sinking deeper
Let me know
Cause I'm drowning for ya

Beggin For Thread

So I got edges that scratch
And sometimes I don't got a filter
But I'm so tired of eating
All of my misspoken words
I know my disposition gets confusing
My disproportionate reactions fuse with my eager state
That's why you wanna come out and play with me, yeah
Why?

Stooped down and out, you got me beggin for thread
To sew this hole up that you ripped in my head
Stupidly think you had it under control
Strapped down to something that you don't understand
Don't know what you were getting yourself into
You should have known, secretly I think you knew

I got some dirt on my shoes
My words can come out as a pistol
I'm no good at aiming
But I can aim it at you
I know my actions, they may get confusing
But my unstable ways is my solution
To even space
That's why you wanna come out and play with me, yeah

Stooped down and out, you got me beggin for thread
To sew this hole up that you ripped in my head
Stupidly think you had it under control
Strapped down to something that you don't understand
Don't know what you were getting yourself into
You should have known, secretly I think you knew
(Secretly I think you knew)

Hold it out, whoa
Try to hide it out, but my tracks are better
Hold it out, whoa
Try to hide it out, but my tracks are better

Stooped down and out, you got me beggin for thread
To sew this hole up that you ripped in my head
Stupidly think you had it under control
Strapped down to something that you don't understand
Don't know what you were getting yourself into
You should have known, secretly I think you knew
(Secretly I think you knew)

Change

Always cold
While you'd self-incriminate
By avoiding all my questions
And calling me an instigator
Cut me down
Always calling me unstable
You so easily can make me cry
Just cause you are in a mood
And you'd say

Call me out
You would say I need attention
Just because I put on makeup
To ironically look good for you
Cut me to pieces
While you watched me disintegrate
Because you like to tell me how you hate
All the ways I'm not enough for you
Then you'd say

[Chorus:]
Baby don't go
I didn't know
I'll change I swear
I'll change I swear
Baby don't go
I'll make you wait
I promise I'll be better
All of these things they will change

Baby don't go
I didn't know
I'll change I swear
I'll change I swear
Baby don't go
I'll make you wait
I promise I'll be better
All of these things they will change

Never guilty
Say it ain't your fault
Because you had an emotionally abusive daddy
And cause of this you don't know how to act

Poor poor baby
Say you can't help the fact that you're so crazy
And you're so good at making me feel guilty
For trying to walk away
Because I'm tired of being mad
Then you'd say

[Chorus]

Someone New

[Verse 1:]
I can love you desperately, though your love ain't guaranteed
Oh, I wish you knew the deal, gotta learn from far away
And I simply needed space, space for me to be
And I think you need it too
Though I know you call me selfish for assuming
I did this for you too, you still got me around your finger
Even though I'm far away
Please believe me when I say

[Chorus:]
Everything I do, I'm gonna think of you
Don't know what else to do
You got me, you got me, baby
Everything I make, I only make for you
Baby, be patient for me
And please don't fall in love with someone new
I promise one day I'll come back for you

[Verse 2:]
Oh, you say you hate me now, and you burn me with your words
Calling me a fool, saying that I've effed up everything
And you'll never forgive me, though I'm doing this for you
Baby, can't you see if there is such a thing
Of loving someone so much that you need
To give them time to let them breathe
But you don't understand, I wish you understood
Oh, I hope one day you do

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Believe in you, believe in me, we're meant to be together
I told you, weren't lyin', I know you aren't relying
And now I am supplying you the time and space
To let you grow into the person that I know, that I know you can be
And I can be one too
And I'll come back to you
And I am ready for you, baby, I am ready for you now
I'm not ready for you now, please don't hate me

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
I promise one day I'll come back to you
I promise one day I'll come back to you
I promise baby, one day I'll come back to you
I promise baby, one day I'll come back to you

Warm Water

Looking you over,
and you don't know my name yet...
But by the time you looked away
already knew I couldn't fake it

I got this need for you forming in my beating heart
I knew the meaning right away, we only yesterday
were worlds apart

I think I may love you, if you give me some time,
maybe you'll love me too...

I got this thing for you
if you come closer I can whisper in your ear
and if you wanna walk away
I'll tell you all the things I know you wanna hear.

I'll come closer
to you if you
come over
I know we'll go farther
farther with you
with you I'm in warm water swimming down.

I think I may love you, if you give me some time,
maybe you'll love me too...

I'll come closer
to you if you
come over
I know we'll go farther
farther with you
with you I'm in warm water swimming down.

I'll come closer
to you if you
come over
I know we'll go farther
farther with you
with you I'm in warm water swimming down.

Under The Table

[Verse 1:]
It already started
I tried to stop it but I already know
You are something I should do without
But I won't
I'm under the table
Just keep wishing I'll come out but I don't
You are something I should do without
But I won't

[Chorus:]
Please tell me that this could be easy
I'm tired of waiting for permission to love
Heartbreak is your game, but I'm learning
My heart could be yours, won't you make it your own

[Verse 2:]
I'm already falling
I couldn't help it, didn't think of the risks
I got a problem, problem when I look in your eyes
You're mine and you know it
I still do it even if we were cursed
Won't you be my rubble, it's okay with me if it hurts

[Chorus x3]

And I Drove You Crazy

(iTunes Bonus Track)

(And I drove you crazy...)

[Verse 1:]
Even though I should of known
It was a bad idea to love you
All I wanted was to lift each other up
All I wanted was to lift each other up
I couldn't even find a date or navigate a way around you
All I wanted was to lift each other up
I never wanted you to hurt too much to touch

[Chorus:]
What are you looking for
(And I drove you crazy)
Wanted to be your girl
(And I drove you crazy)
And anything you wanted
(And I drove you crazy)
Baby I tried to be
(And I drove you crazy)
What are you looking for
(And I drove you crazy)
Wanted to be your girl
(And I drove you crazy)
Any way you wanted me
(And I drove you crazy)
Baby I tried to be
(And I drove you crazy)
What are you looking for?
(And I drove you crazy)
Wanted to be your girl
(And I drove you crazy)
And anything you wanted
(And I drove you crazy)
I drove you crazy
(And I drove you crazy)
Baby I tried to be
(And I drove you crazy)
What are you looking for
(And I drove you crazy)
Wanted to be your girl
(And I drove you crazy)
In any way you wanted me
(And I drove you crazy)
Believe I tried to be
And I drove you crazy(x8)

[Verse 2:]
Oh I see that looking back
I know I blocked out all the red flags
I should of seen that you would only mess me up
I should of seen that I would only mess you up
I know you hurt, I know you hurt, I drove you crazy
You should of seen that I'd only mess you up
I should of seen eventually you would give up

[Chorus]

Fall Over

(iTunes Bonus Track)

You got my heart beating
Beating, beating, beating
You got my mind to follow
Follow, follow, follow, folloooow

Oh
Follow

I gave up my pride. Why?
Why? Lay over
My motion says why

You got my heart beating
Beating, beating, beating
You got my minds to fall over
Fall over, fall over, fall over

I gave up my pride. Why?
Why? Lay over
My motion says why

Before I Ever Met You

(iTunes Bonus Track)

[Verse 1:]
Everyone knows I'm right about one thing
You and I don't work out
You bring out the mean in me
I bring out your insecurities
You know what I am talking bout
Eventually you'll be fine if we break up
And one day I'll be fine too
But we should just end it now
Before someone gets more hurt than they have to

[Chorus:]
As for our house, I'll move out
You can keep the dog we trained
Things soon will be like before I ever met you
Before I ever met you

Before I ever met you
I never knew that my heart could love so hard
Before I ever met you
I never knew I would be enemies with disregard
Before I ever met you
I never knew that I liked to be kissed for days
Before I ever met you
I never knew I could be broken in so many ways
I never knew I could be broken in so many ways
I never knew I could be broken in so many

[Verse 2:]
Everyone knows I'm right about one thing
You are my only vice
And I got you addicted to trying to be bulletproof
But you have too much to lose

[Chorus]

Everyone knows I'm right about one thing
You and I don't work out

Bedroom Wall

(iTunes Bonus Track)

My arms are open for you look at me now
Baby if you want you got me
I know you're broken darling and I won't let you down
Baby I've been waiting for you

I know you like acting like you don't care
But I can be distant don't want to be distant anymore
Darling look at me standing here
This is my promise, cross my heart promise, this is all yours

See these feelings are outta control
Talk about losing losing all my shit for you
Cause I've been thinking about thinking about
Putting my body body body on top of you

You know how I see you, we should be one
Cause I already told you baby
Last time that I tried to sing you this song
Couldn't get the words out baby
My arms are open for you look at me now
Baby if you want you got me
I know you're broken darling I won't let you down
Cause baby I've been waiting for you

Do I have to write it on your bedroom wall, you fool? [x10]
Do I, do I, do I, do I, do I [x2]
