Phoenix

Words & Music by Allison Crowe

You didn't have to hurt me, you know
It wasn't entirely necessary
And I'm not sure how much of that you meant
And I'm not sure how far
It went

But that doesn't really matter now
I meant every word I said except for
One

Maybe it all just paved the way
For what needed to happen anyways

And out of the ashes I rise
The one who can look up is the one who flies

And remember to never look back or down
Don't crash into the ground

And I am not a saint, yeah I get that

I've had it explained to me far
Too many times

But I do try, and I like to think
That one day I'll get back what I've
Given

And you said that I would never be happy
And now that I am I wonder if
You'd believe me anyways

But that doesn't matter now
And to tell the truth I don't care what
You think

'cause out of the ashes I rise
The one who can look up is the one who flies

And remember to never look back or down
Don't crash into the ground

I can't help you now, no I can't stop you
So go ahead, crash in to the ground...
