Phoenix
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm not as perfect
As I know I can be
I've been deserted
I've been cast out to sea
What can you do
When the world seems to be laughing at you?
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 pullin' it out
Pullin' 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
I'm just waiting to die
I'm just waiting to die
