emma hilleary - what if i'm good lyrics

[verse]
i’ve been taught to be a good girl
find my worth in your approval
assumed i was born broken
made to be a token
of a good man’s good life
of my children’s soft smile
made a vow to be a good wife

[pre+chorus]
i did everything right
i was good, i was kind
swallowed my misgivings
so i could keep on swimming
but the tide took my feet
tossed my body out to sea
is being good supposed to feel like f+cking dying?

[chorus]
what if i’m good?
would that be wild?
and what if i’m wild?
chasin’ the wind
instead of running from sin
trying to win
against evil desire
what if desire was really my friend?
what would i want?
where to begin?
what if i stopped
assuming the worst of myself?
what would i find?
who would i be?
[verse]
i’ve been taught to seek salvation
find reliеf in validation
looked in every wrong placе
until i looked in the mirror
stopped resenting each tear
stopped avoiding the fear
broke my vow to be a good wife

[pre+chorus]
i’d done everything right
i’d been good, i’d been kind
vowed to be forgiving
so i could keep on living
released all the shame
learned to scream my own name
saved by the very waters that i thought would drown me

[chorus]
what if i’m good
what if i’m good?
would that be wild?
and what if i’m wild?
chasin’ the wind
instead of running from sin
trying to win
against evil desire
what if desire was really my friend?
what would i want?
where to begin?
what if i stopped
assuming the worst of myself?
what would i find?
who would i be?
