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 enough
You don’t have to worry
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
And I did not know
What love was at the time, in that place
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)
Going all night, all night
And I did not know
What love was at the time, in that place (Oooh-ooh)
I’m burning alive, for us to survive
It’s been complicated
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
(X2)
I thought I meant it 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
