Lyric discussion by somuchmeaning 

This is direct from wikipedia: "Goulding explained the meaning behind "Goodness Gracious" to Rolling Stone, saying, "I've been in situations where I knew someone wasn't right for me, yet I kept bringing them back", adding that the song "is about dissing yourself for not thinking straight and not being fair."

I love this song just because of the tempo and the feel... it sounds like that moment you realize you're free from that sort of toxic relationship.
