| My whole world burned down like matches |
| But now the phoenix rises out of the ashes |
| And I’m leaving behind a trail of dust |
| In front of all the people that I used to trust |
| Only within can I find my happiness |
| And I’m shedding off all of my old skin after this |
| And as the phoenix rises out of the flames |
| I’m moving on and accepting the things I can’t change |
| It’s gonna take time before my heart is mended |
| Cause it feels just like my whole world ended |
| It’s like a spiritual rebirth, my life is going stronger |
| Everyday I’m working harder and going a little longer |
| You left me feeling like your love was a prison |
| I’ve been betrayed by the things that I used to envision |
| Our world’s crashed into each other just like a collision |
| And since you’ve been missing I’ve found a different type of religion |
| No more hurt, today it’s gonna end |
| And it’s time to forgive her and then I’ll learn to live again |
| I dug up old feelings to see if I could deal with em' |
| I thought about the man you left me for and if you’re still with him |
| And last night I said a prayer for your happiness |
| Cause it’s the last step of letting go of the past and this |
| Could be the last tear that I’ll ever shed for you |
| Cause life will never be the same as it was before you |
| When things don’t always work out the way that we want em' |
| There’s always gotta be hope for everybody thats broken hearted |
| Some people love to lose, and live in sin |
| But the game isn’t over until you finally win |
| Sometimes you’ll never find love no matter where you turn |
| But every time you get hurt is like a chance to learn |
| Love could give you the highest of highs and lowest of lows |
| And with friends like these who really needs some foes? |
| And on the day you were born the angels got together |
| To observe your whole uphill battle provided by the devil |
| When you were young you had love in your heart |
| Too many people you trusted stepped on it and tore it apart |
| Cause these days they want us all to fail |
| Cops circle the streets seeking people to put in jail |
| Sometimes you’ve gotta play the game to keep your freedom |
| Cause believe it, if it was up to them they’d rather leave you bleeding |
| Your whole world burned down like matches |
| But now the phoenix rises out of the ashes |
| And you’re leaving behind a trail of dust |
| In front of all the people that you used to trust |
| Only within can you find your happiness |
| And you’re shedding off all of your old skin after this |
| And as the phoenix rises out of the flames |
| You’re moving on and accepting the things you can’t change |
| I am the phoenix |
| I am the phoenix |
| I am the phoenix |
| I am the phoenix rising out of the flames |
| You are the phoenix |
| You are the phoenix |
| You are the phoenix |
| You are the phoenix rising out of the flames |
