Lyrics by Petra Deeter

[Verse]

Well, the moonlight’s cold, and the night’s a liar,

He played with fire, and thought he was sly.

Caught him red-handed, his grace expired,

But oh, these heartstrings won’t break or die.

[Verse 2]

Saw him with her, in the shadowed lane,

A fool’s embrace, in the dark of night.

They thought they’d burn me, leave me in pain,

But this old heart, it’s back in the fight.

[Chorus]

I’m worth my salt, worth every tear,

I’m stronger now, ain’t got no fear.

A phoenix flies, high above the flames,

I’ll rise again, and love ain’t no game.

[Verse 3]

His whispered sweet lies, turned bitter and dry,

But I won’t crumble, won’t fade away.

In the jazz club lights, you’ll hear my cry,

A soulful tune, breaking dawn of day.

[Bridge]

No more sorrow, no more borrowed dreams,

I’ll dance alone under starlit beams.

The saxophone wails, the piano schemes,

Strength in solitude, nothing’s as it seems.

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]

Let them whisper, let them see my stride,

I’ve got that rhythm, that bluesy pride.

Those nights of heartache, I’ve cast aside,

A goddess reborn, now dignified.

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]

The echoes fade, but I still stand tall,

In every heartbeat, I hear the call.

They thought they’d shatter, watch me fall,

But I’ve turned the page, no more a thrall.

[Chorus]

[Outro]

So here’s my goodbye, with a bluesy sway,

I’m walking out, no need to stay.

The night may linger, but dawn’s in sight,

I’m a goddess reborn, in the morning light.
