Thank you for all the love ❤

Laufey saying "fucking" like is a holy word means the world to me

@rosetea11

love how this whole song embodies the “when the glamour wore off” lyric. the song is stripped back, showcasing laufey’s vocals and raw emotion instead of her usual glittery melodies and instrumentals. in that sense, she’s also telling the audience that this is who she is stripped back. she’s telling us that she’s no goddess, but a person at the end of the day. just like the rest of us. very powerful and beautifully done.

2:08 HELLO?! The way she sings "But I am not your Aphrodite" is so mesmerizing

@ashebxz

I can’t imagine how hard it must be to date when you’re famous… you never know if someone actually likes you or your internet presence. This song beautifully captures all of the feelings that could be felt by many well known people all over, and I’m sorry you had to go through this. But thank you for sharing your story via song; it’s amazing.

@hadeulri

I already know half of us lauvers are going to be crying.

@otvirani

"goddess on stage" "human when we're alone" - what a line!

@undefeateddonkey69

Hearing her say “We’re alone” throughout out the whole song, and then at end say “I’m alone” touched me.

@Paul.D27

The voice of a generation. NO ONE else comes close. Her songwriting and her vocals, just WOW ❤❤❤❤

@deargifty

2:36 “when the glamor wore off” the way she sings this is so chilly

@venomase5572

I love how the visuals present her literally on top of a pedestal. This is such a good way of signifying how the love interest here puts her on a pedestal and avoids actually getting to know her as a person. Only interested in the fame/money.

@DustyNonya

Ahh, the depth. "Guess you're still growing up at thirty" alone is both piercing and frighteningly relatable for far too many men these days. 

Breaking the 4th wall while simultaneously adding color to it is just one of many nice touches to a lover scorned song.

@RaeandtheDiamondCastle

This song embodies the pain so well, I’m so proud of Laufey honestly.

@Mayahdanielle330

I love the ending line and how it fades to having no background vocals or reverb. It shows that everything is stripped away and it’s just her and her authentic voice without anything added to it. So much artistry and just simply represents the message of this song so beautifully✨ we love you laufey!

@doink.rraven

Goddess feels like the smell of grass after rain

@sinnohth

The mood shift towards the end of the song broke me… I haven’t experienced such pure sadness and anger through a singer’s voice like this in such a long time. Whoever hurt Laufey is so cruel man :(

THE PIANO, THE VOICE, THE BACKVOCALS 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🚨💥🤰🤰🤰🗣️💥🙏🙏🙏⚡️

@Ernesto12_W

This song feels like you’re floating in space and every star is a memory you made. It’s really beautiful and melancholic but also peaceful as you accept who you are. Thank you for making another classic, Laufey.

@xSafin

I had the honor to see Laufey live recently. She played this song to us for the first time and it's so impressive to see what it has become in production. I must say, not only is she just as talented with her voice and instruments on stage as in her tracks, but her presence is so kind, lovely and genuine, I want her to be part of the industry for all her life

[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
