I met a girl named Aphrodite when I was young
She sang me a song about who I'd become
The lyrics said that I would shine like the sun
And I found myself lost in the music she sung
So lost, I missed the signs that said I should run
And by the time her song was done
Aphrodite knew she had won
She knew I'd pull the trigger, and she passed the gun
You'd think Aphrodite was a fitting name
With her beautiful face and her perfect brain
But her and the goddess are far from the same
'Cause the goddess brings beauty, but she just bought pain
We met and sang for years
After time, it was like she was always there
Her music became all I could hear
As she sang about all I should fear
After only being praised, I slowly disappeared
I was often bought to tears
But Aphrodite would comfort me and hold me dear
I still question if that comfort was sincere
You'd think Aphrodite was a fitting name
With her beautiful face and her perfect brain
But her and the goddess are far from the same
'Cause the goddess brings beauty, she just bought pain
She taught me some lessons while she made me expire
Like being desirable is not always desired
And the sun only shines because it's on fire
And those that sound like gods may double as liars
