Phoenix

I should probably tell you you made a mistake
I should probably warn you you dug your own grave
Know that I was watching you play these games
Waiting for the moment, you speak face to face
I just came from the bottom
Now I'm on the red carpet
Flying out every weekend
Living life while you pretend
Pop champagne every evening
Miss me with your deceiving
You fooled me once, you won't fool me twice
You come and go like the seasons

I could build a kingdom by myself now
I don't even need your fucking help now
I'm coming with a vengeance and a heavy heart
You can try to stop me but you'll fall apart

What if I gave in every time you spoke
What if I believed every lie you told
You tried to bury me, but you know that I won't give in
I'm like a phoenix, born from only ashes, now I'm risen
What if I just folded, didn't play my hand
Did you really think Id let you be my quicksand
You tried to hold me down, but you know that I won't give in
I'm like a phoenix, born from only ashes, now I'm risen

What's wrong now, you been lookin like you been stressing
Maybe it's that your consequences have finally started to set in
How's it feel to look in the mirror and only see my reflection
You out scraping the bottom
While I'm out steadily flexing

I should probably tell you you don't cross my mind
I should probably warn you you've crossed the last line
Know that I was keeping the score the whole time
Waiting for the moment that I'd finally shine

I could build a kingdom by myself now
I don't even need your fucking help now
I'm coming with a vengeance and a heavy heart
You can try to stop me but you'll fall apart

What if I gave in every time you spoke
What if I believed every lie you told
You tried to bury me, but you know I won't give in
I'm like a phoenix, born from only ashes, now I'm risen
What if I just folded, didn't play my hand
Did you really think Id let you be my quicksand
You tried to hold me down, but you know that I won't give in
I'm like a phoenix, born from only ashes, now I'm risen

It's such a shame
That we could never be the same
And all I think
Is that I'm finally free

I could build a kingdom by myself now
I don't even need your fucking help now
I'm coming with a vengeance and a heavy heart
You can try to stop me but you'll fall apart

What if I gave in every time you spoke
What if I believed every lie you told
You tried to bury me, but you know I won't give in
I'm like a phoenix, born from only ashes, now I'm risen
What if I just folded, didn't play my hand
Did you really think Id let you by my quicksand
You tried to hold me down, but you know that I won't give in
I'm like a phoenix, born from only ashes, now I'm risen
