Phoenix

I’m not as perfect
As I know I can be
I’ve been deserted
And I’ve been cast out to sea
What can you do when the world seems to be laughing at you?
And what can you do when the world is looking down on you?
It’s a long way down when you’re headed for the bottom
And I can see it now
I just had to hit the ground
From the ashes I rise
I’m coming back alive
Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die
I’ll be a halo in the sky
I’m learning how to fly
Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die
Waiting to die
I can’t lift my head up
It’s like I’m dying inside
I’m dying inside
And I’m so scared
Maybe I’m such a loser
I’m pulling it out pulling it out my hair
What’s a girl to do when her reflection is the ugly truth?
What’s a girl to do when her song is someone else’s tattoo?
It’s a long way down when you’re headed for the bottom
And I can see it now
I just had to hit the ground
From the ashes I rise
I’m coming back alive
Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die
I’ll be a halo in the sky
I’m learning how to fly
Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die
Waiting to die
Standing on the edge
Looking towards the sun
If I let go I know I can be beautiful
Standing on the edge
Looking towards the sun
If I let go I know I can be beautiful
From the ashes I rise
I’m coming back alive
Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die
I’ll be a halo in the sky
I’m learning how to fly
Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die
Waiting to die
Waiting to die
Waiting to die
