You told me you love me
I said it back, I didn't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a phoenix
A phoenix

You been worried about me
A tornado inside
I've been complicated (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Take a second to show me
How to burn and to rise
I could swear I'm changing

I wasn't very happy when you met me, baby (ooh-ooh-ooh)

You told me you love me
I said it back, I didn't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a phoenix
A phoenix

I know I haven't called back
But I'm building it up slowly, baby, surely
You're the first I'll contact
When I feel good enough
You don't have to worry

I wasn't very happy when you met me, baby (ooh-ooh-ooh)

You told me you love me
I said it back, I didn't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a phoenix (you told me you love me)
A phoenix (I said it back, I didn't mean it)

And I did not know
What love was at that time, in that place (come back like a phoenix)
And this that shit that they won't like
Them three lefts, that wrong shit
And you better believe
We gon', uh, keep it, uh-uh-uh-uh
Goin' all night, all night
And I did not know
What love was at that time, in that place (ooh, ooh)

I'm burning alive, for us to survive
It's been complicated (ooh-ooh-ooh)

You told me you love me
I said it back, I didn't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a phoenix
You told me you love me
I said it back, I didn't mean it
I had to burn everything that I was
Just to come back like a phoenix

I thought I mentioned when I came in this relationship
That all the roses in the world would only fuel my rage
And now you're wounded from the blades, I hope you can forgive
And we can rise from the ashes just like a phoenix
A phoenix (ooh)
