[Verse 1]
The devil smiled so sweet
Said, "Baby, come with me"
Promised velvet, gold, and fire
Said he'd make me what I need
I wore his lie like lace
Till it cut into my skin
He said he'd fix my broken days
But I was breaking him in
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the truth came slow
Like rain on a locked up door
He never wanted my heart
He was after something more
[Chorus]
He wanted my soul, my soul
But I took it back
He wanted my soul, my soul
I burned that map
Now I know my worth
I know where I stand
I learned to love myself
I learned to love myself again
[Verse 2]
I saw the shadow leave
When I stopped saying yes
Read my name in the mirror
Like a promise I could bless
Every scar got a voice
Every tear got a plan
What tried to bury me deep
Made me a stronger woman
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the truth runs clean
Through the cracks and the coal
He can keep that empty grin
I keep my soul
[Chorus]
He wanted my soul, my soul
But I took it back
He wanted my soul, my soul
I burned that map
Now I know my worth
I know where I stand
I learned to love myself
I learned to love myself again
[Bridge]
So here I stand
Hands open, chest high
No chain on my spirit
No fear in my eyes
I honor the lesson
I honor the pain
I bow to the universe
And I call my name
[Final Chorus]
He wanted my soul, my soul
But I took it back
He wanted my soul, my soul
I burned that map
Now I know my worth
I know where I stand
I learned to love myself
I learned to love myself again
[Outro]
Respect to the universe
I walk in grace
I chose my own light
And it lit my face
