Lyric Video by Sasha Guimaraes

Lyrics:
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
You’re too old to play this game
Guess you’re still growing up at thirty

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 version of
Me that you thought you’d love
But I am not your Aphrodite

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
And 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

I’m no goddess when I’m alone

[superlativeyou]

“ you took a star to bed, woke up with me instead” made me feel so like idk how to describe it

[zhn]

This song speaks for me. Risking myself to be open here, if anyone who knows me stumbled on this, just ignore or leave a kind note. Whichever you choose.

Recently had a breakup, only a day after new year’s. 2 months went by but the pain still feels like it just happened yesterday. We were together for 6 years and we did everything together, we experienced life together and we explored ourselves together. He was the person who taught me how to love when I didn’t know how to, he changed my mind in so many ways. He was gentle and kind. He used to be a sweet boy, one that you would’ve never thought could do the things that you’d expect from a man these days. How betrayed i felt when he finally did it. He left and replaced me within days/weeks. The heartbreak was indescribable, I almost went insane. He told me in the end, that he couldn’t accept me for who i am and his reason was to focus more on his work, he didn’t want anything to drag him down. What he didn’t say was, he already had someone else in mind.

Why this song resonates so well with me is because, he expected me to be this perfect person to fit into his ideal perfect relationship. He wanted me to be everything he ever pictured in a woman. I put on a show to everyone everyday and i showed my real self to him and him only. Sometimes I think he forgets that i’m a human too, I’m not a fcking goddess.

[Biased_MF]

When she took that long note in
I am goddess in stage
1:18 WHEN WERE ( goosebumps every where just majestic )

[coee]

[Verse 1]
It always goes like this
Could've predicted it
I'm so naïve to think you loved me for me
Kissed as I ran off stage
You're too old to play this game
Guess you're still growing up at thirty, oh

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
You took a star to bed
Woke up with me instead
You must have fеlt so damn deceived
Whеn you made up a version of
Me that you thought you loved
But I am not your Aphrodite, oh

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
Oh, oh
I'm no goddess when I'm alone

[cheezwhizisz]

This song is such a beautiful expression of emotion. The whole meaning of the song is protrayed through the lyrics "I'm a Goddess on stage, Human when we're alone." And the pure raw powerful vocals demonstrate her being 100% herself❤

[ButtergoblinArt]

My girlfriend told me to learn this song and I was like “I don’t know the chords” and now here I am about to suprise her THANK YOU LAUFEY

[rathmc]

Laufey is probably producing the modern equivalent of bohemian rhapsody on an emotional level the use of dynamics and vowels are just mmm so fresh and vibrant Laufey is an amazing story teller and I love her music

[iamkazuha]

this song is the sound of getting your soul purified and sent into the heavens

[HeliNoir]

OH. MY. GODDESS.
I want to see Laufey perform this with an orchestra!!!

This song wracks me with so much pain (along with Second Best). I always presented myself as a strong person, impenetrable. When he came along, the sweet, sweet boy with kind eyes, all of me crumbled, revealing who I really was. With every imperfection he encountered, he encouraged me to embrace. He was the person you'd never expect to be so cruel. Five years all a lie. He had cheated on me three times.

The first girl didn't mesh. The second one, great at sex, but kind of crazy. And the last girl... His current girl. They started dating a week after Valentines. Our Valentines. He gave me the most beautiful love letter. He was shaking, in tears, outpouring his love onto me, and I, the fool, took it at face value.

But the truth was bitter and cold. He loved me for what I provided, what I could be if I was a little bit thinner, a little bit more ambitious, a little more independent. I gave him every warning, there are parts of me that may not change. I had been so hyper-independent before him. I was exhausted, and he gave me the respite I needed, then blamed me for wanting to rest, wanting to slow down, wanting to just be.

He had deceived me. We met up only to return each others things. I had packed everything, every memento, gift, handwritten note, every hand-crafted item, and article of clothing. The box smelled of the home he had been, and with the final seal of tape, his memory was gone as quickly as he was. He expected me to be begging, the lovesick fool he had met when I was 19.

He was surprised to see me so put together, so emotionless, and he, the liar, was a mess. I laughed in his face when he told me he expected me to beg, be angry, cry. Anything. In that moment, I was the fakest I've ever been. I put on my last encore to not make him uncomfortable, and in my final act of love, I wished him well, choking down my last bit of humanity.

Even with friends, they think I am improving, feeling freer with each day. Behind closed doors, I am the truth, a mess, a puddle of tears. I play the role of strong and independent, even in my most painful of times. It was practiced, methodical. Playing "okay" just as I had done when my childhood pet died, when my grandma.

And all I want, all I yearn for is my respite, my love to be placed in someone's gentle hands, unsurprised by my fragility. To treat me with the gentle touch I needed. I am human. I am me. I cannot keep pretending what others believe me to be.
