[Verse 1] You loved me better when I listened When every word you said was law You built a heaven from your opinions Then acted shocked when I saw the flaws You wanted worship, not devotion Someone to tell you you were right But I was never made for kneeling Just so you could feel divine [Pre-Chorus] You can sit upon your throne Tell yourself you always know But I finally figured out You’re not a god You’re just loud [Chorus] I don’t care, I don’t care About your God complexes I won’t bow my head to you I’m gonna go to high places And you’ll see me rise I’ll make it through I’ll make it through [Verse 2] Funny how you both were different But somehow sounded just the same One called control a kind of friendship One dressed possession up as love Two different thrones, the same illusion Both so certain you were right You needed me beneath your heaven Just so you could feel divine [Pre-Chorus] Keep your halos, keep your thrones Keep pretending that you know Who I am and where I’ll go You’re not my gods And now I know [Chorus] I don’t care, I don’t care About your God complexes I won’t bow my head to you I’m gonna go to high places And you’ll see me rise I’ll make it through I’ll make it through [Bridge] Maybe I believed you for a minute Maybe I mistook your voice for truth Maybe being loved came with conditions Maybe I kept changing just for you But heaven never asked me for permission And the stars don’t care what you think I’m worth So keep looking down from your little pedestals I know what I’m worth [Breakdown] You’re not holy You’re not heaven You don’t get to choose my ending You’re not holy You’re not heaven I won’t beg for your blessing Keep your judgment Keep your blessings Keep your God complexes [Final Chorus] I don’t care, I don’t care About your God complexes I won’t bow my head to you I’m gonna go to high places Higher than you thought I’d go And you’ll see me rise I made it through I don’t care, I don’t care About your God complexes You don’t get to tell me what to do I’m gonna go to high places Higher than you ever thought I’d go And when I get there I won’t look down on you [Outro] No, I won’t bow down to you No, I won’t bow down to you You were never gods I just believed you were
