Roses and Weeds

There’s no flicker there’s no flame in ya
You think we’re playing a game, do ya?
You and I aren’t the same, and I
I need a chance to rise from the ashes

Every watching, everybody talking
Better keep on walking, bye-bye
'Cuz I don’t wanna fall for another lie
I think it’s time to fly

'Cuz I crashed and burned
and broke and hurt
and played there for a while
But now I don’t choke
When I see smoke
It only makes me smile

You’ll find me in the furnace
You’ll find me in the flames
'Cuz baby I’m a phoenix
And I’m rising again
You’ll find me in the darkness
Breaking my chains
Cuz baby I’m a phoenix
And I’m rising again

I have died a thousand deaths and I
Pulled myself up from the depths and I
I don’t think I need your blessing now
To reinvent my wheels only better now

They don’t want that new blood
They just want that old love
I am never enough for you
'Cuz I don’t wanna fall for that same old life
I think it’s time to fly

watch me rising

Oh how I feel it down in my bones
Where’s the healing I’ve never known
Seems my head is full of ghosts

Oh how I need it down in my soul
Got me kneeling, I’m out of control
I’ve got this feeling, there’s a hole

Am I the only one who sees a life undone when I look at my reflection
Am I the only heart who feels torn apart when I see my imperfection

Bring on the light of day
Bring me a brand new story
I’ll face it, come what may
Show me the morning glory

The morning glory

Oh how I feel it, shaking me up
The ground beneath me the sky above
Oh so lonely oh so loved

Am I the only one who sees a life undone when I look at my reflection
Am I the only heart who feels torn apart when I see my imperfection

Bring on the light of day
Bring me a brand new story
I’ll face it, come what may
Show me the morning glory

Bring on the light of day
Bring me a brand new story
I’ll face it, come what may
Show me the morning glory

The morning glory

Oh now I hear it, singing my name drown out the fear and silence the shame
It’s like a whisper it’s like the rain washing over me

Bring on the light of day
Bring me a brand new story
I’ll face it, come what may
Show me the morning glory

Bring on the light of day
Bring me a brand new story
I’ll face it, come what may
Show me the morning glory

Bring on the light of day
Bring me a brand new story
I’ll face it, come what may
Show me the morning glory

I'm thankful for the harshest wind
That keeps me leaning up against your skin
I'm thankful for the darkest clouds
makes the sun feel brighter now and then
I'm grateful for my broken heart
So I can rearrange the parts brand new, for you
Thankful for the coldest cold
That leaves me basking in your glowing and view, it's you

Oh the hard times only bring me closer, only bring me closer to you
Oh the hard times only bring me closer, only bring me closer to you

Drowning in the deepest sea
It's you who gives a breath to me and pulls me in
I see it all so clear somehow
I wouldn't be where I am now if I could swim
Even though I hate the pain
You love me 'til I'm me again and I can breathe
I'm thankful you are here for me
Despite the million reasons not to be, Oh I see

Oh the hard times only bring me closer, only bring me closer to you
Oh the hard times only bring me closer, only bring me closer to you
So let the hard time come and work me over, I'll keep my composure, we'll pull through
Oh the hard times only bring me closer, only bring me closer to you

Will it all be ok?
I dunno, I dunno
When it all turns to grey
Will you stay, or will you go?
I don’t trust many people
And let them get this close
Will it all be ok?
I hope so, I hope so

'Cuz we’ve all seen better days
Fought this war a million ways
Can we skip the part where I fall apart?
I hope so, I hope so

What I feel and what I know
Can’t agree on anything
But it hurts to let go
Can’t you see I’m trying?
All I want is to live where everyone said “no”
Will it all be ok, I dunno
I hope so

Can I say I’m not fine
Without that look in your eyes
Can you love past the point where
Others chose to stop

Tonight I'll sleep in this old house
Where dreams were built up from the ground
A castle built up in the clouds
Eventually must fall
Tomorrow I'll wake up and wish
That the slipper never fit
And maybe someday I'll forget
We ever loved at all

Remember what it felt like
Back at the start
When we were living
With fairytale hearts
Wish I could have read the ending
Before it all played out
I guess a broken king and queen
Eventually, give up the crown

Love of laughs and memories
I only see you in my dreams
A dungeon deep inside of me
Never to escape

We had it all, the sun and moon
And stars in awe of me and you
I take a breath, you fade to blue
Suddenly I'm awake

Give up the crown
We had to lay it down
Walk away don't turn around now
Leave the palace
Leave the throne
Leave me here on my own
