Феникс

Along with the old junk I don’t need
At around five, it seems
I took my broken feelings
So I wouldn’t get hurt again

Where there was only soot and grime
Now there’s a huge gap
I agreed to take only the lessons
But I won’t keep this pain for myself

I’m too proud to go back
I’m too wounded, but I want to live so bad
I’m too strong to fall and not get back up
It’s time to rise, it’s my signature style

I’ve cleaned everything spotless, and now it’s time
You didn’t break me, I still have dreams to chase
This love wore me out and pushed me to the edge
This love hit me hard, but it faded away

They told me: Fool, don’t cry, don’t cry
He’s got a bullet for you, and you’re all about love, love
What love is there, when he doesn’t feel a thing
Your soul’s like the ocean, and his is stuck on the shore

And I screamed: How can he do this, damn it?
In tears I wrote: Call me, let’s talk
I’m like a phoenix, the one tired of begging
To rise again, I need to burn it all down

And someone in the next life up there
Might decide to switch us around
And, promising to give you my heart
I’ll only hand you a cold stone

You’ll be lying on the tile at night
Swallowing sleeping pills from the hurt
You’ll love me just the same, for sure
And just as surely, you’ll hate me too

I’m too brave to stray from my path
I’m too loyal to love anyone else
I’m too strong to not save myself
Goodbye, I’m sorry, because I want to live so bad

I’ve cleaned everything spotless, and it is what it is
You didn’t break me, I still have dreams to chase
This love wore me out and pushed me to the edge
This love hit me hard, but it faded away

They told me: Fool, don’t cry, don’t cry
He’s got a bullet for you, and you’re all about love, love
What love is there, when he doesn’t feel a thing
Your soul’s like the ocean, and his is stuck on the shore

And I screamed: How can he do this, damn it?
In tears I wrote: Call me, let’s talk
I’m like a phoenix, the one tired of begging
To rise again, I need to burn it all down
