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 boy

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 boy

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 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

And we can rise from the ashes just like a phoenix

I'm burning alive

For us to survive

It's been complicated

Ooh, 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 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
