Lyrics
You used to want somebody you could worship
You previously desired someone you could deeply admire or idolize.
Now you just want someone you can work with
Now, your preference is for someone you can collaborate with or engage in practical tasks together.
Someone to feel heard with
You seek a person with whom you feel understood.
Someone who will listen when you speak, and you'll talk
You desire someone who will actively listen to you and engage in conversation reciprocally.
Because I know you're still hurting, babe
Acknowledgment that the person is still experiencing emotional pain.
See, they're traditional and I can see you envy them
You observe envy towards those who follow traditional paths or norms.
Their life of ease was never coming to you easily
Recognition that a life of ease or comfort has not come easily to you.
Your daddy's views don't align with my scene
There's a conflict between the viewpoints held by your father and the speaker.
And I

Guess there was way too much to sacrifice to be with me
There were significant things you had to give up or compromise to be in a relationship with me.
You used to want somebody you could worship
Reiteration of the past desire for someone to deeply admire or idolize.
Now you just want someone you can work with
Emphasis on the current desire for a partner to work with pragmatically.
Someone to feel heard with
Wanting someone who will empathetically listen to you.
Someone who will listen when you speak, and you'll talk
Desiring mutual communication where both parties listen and speak.
Because I know you're still hurting, babe
Reaffirmation of the acknowledgment of the person's ongoing emotional pain.
Used to want somebody you could worship
Repeated lines emphasizing the shift in desires from adoration to practicality, empathy, and acknowledgment of emotional distress.
