about

I wrote this in Spring of 2013. I take on the modern image of relationships and how sex is now "required," but it mostly is talking to the girls who feel the need to have premarital sex with they're boyfriends just to feel loved and to try and keep their boyfriends from leaving them. In the end, it speaks of how they can turn their life around, regain their purity, and see that they are loved and always have been loved by both God and others.

lyrics

You wake up hating yourself
‘Cause you wouldn’t listen
You killed your conscience with a knife
And you keep giving yourself away
And you find out
That all he wants is what he can get
And all you’re left with
Is the guilt of what you’ve done

What are you trying to get from those warm bodies?
You’re trying to feel close but you feel more alone
Tradin’ your gold for somethin’ not worth silver
Just to be thrown away
Thrown away

Haven’t you figured out
You’re worth more than he tells you?
But still you insist if you give him what he wants
He can’t resist to stay
You’re only half right
Why would he leave
If you satisfy his evil desires?
You paint your holy temple in black

What are you trying to get from those warm bodies?
You’re trying to feel close but you feel more alone
Tradin’ your gold for somethin’ not worth silver
Just to be thrown away
Thrown away

There’s a light at the end of this tunnel
There’s a place where hope will be found
You don’t need to give in
You can turn your life around

I said you can turn your life around

And you won’t be searchin’ for heat
You won’t be givin’ yourself to warm bodies
You got what you need
You won’t need to try and feel close
‘Cause you will feel close
When you’re loved unconditionally
You will have your soul
And you will be pure again
You’re gold will turn to diamonds
You won’t be thrown away
You’ll never be thrown away again
Your waiting will have an end

And you will be loved
For who you are
So no more warm bodies
Are ever, ever gonna touch this star
