[Verse 1]
I never saw it coming, thought I was invincible
Always believing that I was in control
But now I’m dying, burning alive for my mistakes
I gave up on myself, gave up on my principles
Gave up on trying, kept digging a deeper hole
Cause I wasn’t willing to give more than I would take
[Pre-Chorus 1]
There’s a heat in my veins
That I'm learning to tame
While a fire burns underneath
I've been losing this game
But I’ll stand in the flames
To ignite my energy
And alone I can clearly see
What I hope I can someday be
This is not the end for me
But the first step to being free
[Chorus 1]
I’m a phoenix
When I fall I fly
Don’t believe it?
Check the fire in my eye
If I lose the battle
I’ll go down in flame
Think I’m beaten?
I will rise again
[Verse 2]
Right now I really hate me
But that’s OK cause it’ll make me
Stronger than I ever could’ve been
I won’t be the same
No, I’ll get up when fall down
Find my beat, find my own sound
Sing my heart out, sing my it out loud
I’m changing the way they’ll remember my name
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There’s a heat in my veins
That I'm learning to tame
While a fire burns underneath
I've been losing this game
But I’ll dance in the flames
To consume the energy
And alone I can clearly see
What I know I can someday be
This is not the end for me
Every day I’m breakin’ free
[Chorus 2]
I’m a phoenix
When I fall I fly
Don’t believe it?
Check the fire in my eye
If I lose the battle
I’ll go down in flame
Think I’m beaten?
I will rise again
I’m a phoenix
When I fall I fly
Don’t believe it?
Check the fire in my eye
If I lose the battle
I’ll go down in flame
Never beaten
I will rise again
[Bridge]
From the depths of the fire
To the top of the pyre
I’m about to be released
I haven’t been at my best
Confess my life is a mess
But it’s time I took the leap
From the depths of the fire
To the top of the pyre
I’m about to be released
I’m trying to be my best
Soaring far from the nest
It’s time to unleash the beast
[Chorus 2]
I’m a phoenix
When I fall I fly
Don’t believe it?
Check the fire in my eye
If I lose the battle
I’ll go down in flame
Think I’m beaten?
I will rise again
I’m a phoenix
When I fall I fly
Don’t believe it?
Check the fire in my eye
If I lose the battle
I’ll go down in flame
Never beaten
[Ending]
I'm rising from the ashes once again
I'm rising from the ashes once again
I'm rising from the ashes once again
I'm rising from the ashes once again
I will rise again
I never saw it coming, thought I was invincible
Always believing that I was in control
But now I’m dying, burning alive for my mistakes
I gave up on myself, gave up on my principles
Gave up on trying, kept digging a deeper hole
Cause I wasn’t willing to give more than I would take
[Pre-Chorus 1]
There’s a heat in my veins
That I'm learning to tame
While a fire burns underneath
I've been losing this game
But I’ll stand in the flames

This is not the end for me
But the first step to being free
[Chorus 1]
I’m a phoenix

Don’t believe it?
Check the fire in my eye
If I lose the battle

I'm rising from the ashes once again
I'm rising from the ashes once again
I'm rising from the ashes once again
I'm rising from the ashes once again
I will rise again
