Rising

Do you realise the way I feel about you

I gave you my heart, my soul, my loyalty

Not a day goes by when I don't think about you

Watching the time roll by

Praying for the strength to fly without thinking bout

Bout you, bout you

Checking my emotions

Energy in motion

I see the way you carelessly play with my mind

Tables are turning this fire is burning inside

I know I can't deny it

And you can criticize it

But you my kryptonite and

I'm feeling uninvited

So you can testify

Breaking out this place like a butterfly and

I'll be the phoenix rising

Woke up with this feeling in my stomach rising

Begging for forgiveness for the times I let you treat me this way

I'm letting go the tears that burn in my eyes

Be easy, be kind

Tread lightly on the minefield on my mind

Cause when I'm weak I fall

And when I fall I lose it all

Said you would catch me

But I'm crying here all on my own thinking bout you

I know I can't deny it

And you can criticize it

But you my kryptonite and

I'm feeling uninvited

I wanna be up high

Breaking out this place like a butterfly and

I'll be the phoenix rising

No I ain't playing

You still have a place in my heart

For all the lessons you showed me

Light that I found through the dark

Running in circles to end up where I hoped you'd be

No more playing

Talking to my heart she's saying

Listen to my voice beneath your pride

Only to find

My divine

And I know it's time to fly

I know I can't deny it

And you can criticize it

But you my kryptonite and

I'm feeling uninvited

I wanna be up high

Metamorphosize like a dragonfly and

I'll be the phoenix rising

And I can try to fight it

And you can realize it

But you my kryptonite and

I'm feeling uninvited

So you can testify

Breaking out this place like a butterfly and

I'll be the phoenix rising

I ain't thinking bout

Bout you, bout you

Checking my emotions

Energy in motion

Without you

Without you

Checking my emotions

Energy in motion
