Daniel Jordan - The Phoenix lyrics

My whole world burned down like matches But now the phoenix rises out of the ashes And I'm leaving behind a trail of dust In front of all the people that I used to trust Only within can I find my happiness And I'm shedding off all of my old skin after this And as the phoenix rises out of the flames I'm moving on and accepting the things I can't change It's gonna take time before my heart is mended Cause it feels just like my whole world ended It's like a spiritual rebirth, my life is going stronger Everyday I'm working harder and going a little longer You left me feeling like your love was a prison I've been betrayed by the things that I used to envision Our world's crashed into each other just like a collision And since you've been missing I've found a different type of religion No more hurt, today it's gonna end And it's time to forgive her and then I'll learn to live again I dug up old feelings to see if I could deal with em' I thought about the man you left me for and if you're still with him And last night I said a prayer for your happiness Cause it's the last step of letting go of the past and this Could be the last tear that I'll ever shed for you Cause life will never be the same as it was before you When things don't always work out the way that we want em' There's always gotta be hope for everybody thats broken hearted Some people love to lose, and live in sin But the game isn't over until you finally win Sometimes you'll never find love no matter where you turn But every time you get hurt is like a chance to learn Love could give you the highest of highs and lowest of lows And with friends like these who really needs some foes? And on the day you were born the angels got together To observe your whole uphill battle provided by the devil When you were young you had love in your heart Too many people you trusted stepped on it and tore it apart Cause these days they want us all to fail Cops circle the streets seeking people to put in jail Sometimes you've gotta play the game to keep your freedom Cause believe it, if it was up to them they'd rather leave you bleeding Your whole world burned down like matches But now the phoenix rises out of the ashes And you're leaving behind a trail of dust In front of all the people that you used to trust Only within can you find your happiness And you're shedding off all of your old skin after this And as the phoenix rises out of the flames You're moving on and accepting the things you can't change I am the phoenix I am the phoenix I am the phoenix I am the phoenix rising out of the flames You are the phoenix You are the phoenix You are the phoenix You are the phoenix rising out of the flames
