Phoenix - Juliet Simms

I’m not as perfect

As I know I can be

I’ve been deserted

And I’ve been cast out to sea

What can you do when the world seems to be laughing at you?

And what can you do when the world is looking down on you?

It’s a long way down when you’re headed for the bottom

And I can see it now

I just had to hit the ground

From the ashes I rise

I’m coming back alive

Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die

I’ll be a halo in the sky

I’m learning how to fly

Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die

Waiting to die

I can’t lift my head up

It’s like I’m dying inside

I’m dying inside

And I’m so scared

Maybe I’m such a loser

I’m pulling it out pulling it out my hair

What’s a girl to do when her reflection is the ugly truth?

What’s a girl to do when her song is someone else’s tattoo?

It’s a long way down when you’re headed for the bottom

And I can see it now

I just had to hit the ground

From the ashes I rise

I’m coming back alive

Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die

I’ll be a halo in the sky

I’m learning how to fly

Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die

Waiting to die

Standing on the edge

Looking towards the sun

If I let go I know I can be beautiful

Standing on the edge

Looking towards the sun

If I let go I know I can be beautiful

From the ashes I rise

I’m coming back alive

Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die

I’ll be a halo in the sky

I’m learning how to fly

Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die

Waiting to die

Waiting to die

Waiting to die
