"Phoenix (Reprise)" lyrics

You told me you love me
I said it back, I don't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a Phoenix
A Phoenix

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

I wasn't very happy when you met me, baby

You told me you love me
I said it back, I don'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 I contact
When I feel good enough
You don't have to worry

I wasn't very happy when you met me, baby

You told me you love me
I said it back, I don't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a Phoenix
A Phoenix

And I did not know when I was at that time
In that place
And it's that sure that they won't lie
Come three less, they all cry
And you better believe, we go hooky, be a-a-a, all going

And I, and I
And I did not know while I was at that time
In a place

I'm burning alive, first to survive
It's been complicated

You told me you love me
I said it back, I don'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 don't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a Phoenix

I thought I meant to 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 blades, I hope you can forgive
And we can rise from the ashes just like a Phoenix
A Phoenix
