[Verse 1]
I've been looking behind
Bridge burned, I can see the flames
All these mountains were mine, returned
But things have changed
I think I'd rather be alone tonight
If that's okay
Honestly, it was time
That made me feel like

[Chorus]
I faced my fears till I made it here
Now I don't know where to stand
But I know it's not over
If I'm losing touch
If I love too much
I'll just leave it up to chance
That's just the woman

[Verse 2]
Who's always lookin' beside (-Side)
My friends have all been paid
Is the river running dry? (Dry)
I wish to feel no shame
I run both my hands down (I run both my hands down)
And I find a different shape
Honestly, it was time
That made me feel like

[Chorus]
I faced my fears till I made it here
Now I don't know where to stand (Where to stand)
But I know it's not over
If I'm losing touch
If I love too much
I'll just leave it up to chance
That's just the woman I am

[Bridge]
Suddenly, I see an hourglass, it seems so still
I wake up and I'm ten years older
Time's been running like sand
Free-falling through the photographs that paid my bills
I'm done listening to another man's music
So I'm leaving with a drink in my hand

[Chorus]
I faced my fears till I made it here
Now I don't know where to stand
Oh, but I know it's not over
If I'm losing touch
If I love too much
I'll just leave it up to chance (Up to chance)
That's just the woman I am

[Outro]
That's just the woman I am
That's just the woman I am
That's just the woman I am
If I'm losing touch (That's just the woman I am)
If I love too much (That's just the woman I am)
I'll just leave it up to chance (That's just the woman I am)
That's just the woman I am

Ellie Goulding

Elena Jane “Ellie” Goulding (born 30 December 1986) – is an English singer-songwriter. In 2010, she became the second artist to both top the BBC’s annual Sound of… poll and win the Critics' Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the same year, following Adele’s win of both in 2008. Originally her music incorporated elements of folk, pop, electronica, and folktronica.

In July 2009, Goulding signed with Polydor Records, and released her debut EP An Introduction to Ellie Goulding, later that year. Her debut single, “Under The Sheets” was then released in November.

In 2010 Goulding recorded and released her debut record Lights, which spawned four charting singles in the UK, the biggest of which “Starry Eyes” peaked at #4 in the UK and charted in many European countries and Australia.
