"Phoenix" lyrics

You told me
You love me
I said it back
I didn't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a phoenix
A phoenix

You've been worried about me
A tornado inside
I've been complicated
Take a second to show me
How to burn and to rise
I could swear I'm changing

I wasn't very happy
When you met me
Baby boy

You told me
You love me
I said it back
I didn't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a phoenix
A phoenix

I know I haven't called back
But I'm building it up
Slowly baby surely
You're the first one I'll contact
When I feel good enough
You don't have to worry

I wasn't very happy
When you met me
Baby boy

You told me
You love me
I said it back
I didn't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a phoenix

You told me
You love me
I said it back
I didn't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a phoenix

I thought I meant it
When I came in this relationship
But all the roses in the world
Would only fuel my rage
And now you're wounded from the blaze
I hope you can forgive
And we can rise from the ashes
Just like a phoenix

I'm burning alive
For us to survive
It's been complicated

You told me
You love me
I said it back I didn't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a phoenix

You told me
You love me
I said it back I didn't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a phoenix

I thought I meant it
When I came in this relationship
But all the roses in the world
Would only fuel my rage
And now you're wounded from the blaze
I hope you can forgive
So we can rise from the ashes
Just like a phoenix
A phoenix
