She's not afraid of dying, she's not afraid of getting hurt.
She's not afraid of much you know, secure in all she's worth.
She walks among the grasses, swims within the sea.
She pours another glass and says 'The world looks after me'
The world looks after me and I'll look after you.
But only if it means you'll stick around 'til after 2.
Woah, she's following her truth, she's following her truth.
And that's just something she's gotta do. Something she's gotta do.
Woah, she's following her truth, she's following her truth.
And that's just something she's gotta do. Something she's gotta do.
She's grateful to the universe for all that she possesses,
Making grand plans and buying more new dresses.
But paddle in the shallows, too good to be true.
Dive beneath and you will find the thing that bothers you.
It's not the thing you thought of, not the thing you know.
IT's there among the other lies you thought would never show.
Woah, she's following her truth, she's following her truth.
And that's just something she's gotta do. Something she's gotta do.
Woah, she's following her truth, she's following her truth.
And that's just something she's gotta do. Something she's gotta do.
Now I'm not saying you should question everything they do.
But sometimes their truth, oh it just ain't true.
No it just ain't true, woah it just ain't true.
Woah, she's following her truth, she's following her truth.
And that's just something she's gotta do. Something she's gotta do.
Woah, she's following her truth, she's following her truth.
And that's just something she's gotta do. Something she's gotta do
