lyrics

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

You've been worried about me
A tornado inside
I've been complicated
Take a second to 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 didn'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 one I'll contact
When I feel good еnough
You don't have to worry

I wasn't very happy
When you mеt me, baby

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

And I did not know
(I had to burn everything that I was)
What love was at that time, in that place
(Come back like a phoenix)
And this that shit that they won't like
Them three lefts, that wrong right
And you better believe
We gon' (Uh), keep it (Uh-uh-uh-uh)
Goin' all night (All night), all night (All night)
And I did not know
What love was at that time, in that place (Ooh, ooh)
I'm burning alive, for us to survive
It's been complicated (Oh-ooh-oh)

You told me you love me
I said it back, I didn'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 didn'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 blaze, I hope you can forgive
So we can rise from the ashes just like a phoenix
A phoenix
