i’d follow her to my demise
if she’d only wipe my eyes
her frown could cloud the bluest skies
i lived each day to feel her pass by

i’d never speak her name in vain
i’d always wonder what she’d say
i’d stick with her through wind and rain
i believe i’ll see her (again) someday

but she, she’s not a goddess walking on dirt
she’s just a girl who knows how to flirt
God, forgive me, i fell at her feet
and i got hurt

but she didn’t love me enough to bleed
i had nothing she would need
she spread her wings when she was freed
and i could not follow that lead

she held me down when i was weak
she wouldn’t listen when i’d speak
she’s not the treasure that i seek
but i believed
