Phoenix - 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…
