Paradoxical - Pheonix

You've been there all my life
Got so trapped inside your mind
You left me stranded
And sometimes I don't know
How to handle it

I'm trying to move forward
But my trauma holds me back
Think I've found my voice
Think I'm finally pushing back
I'm done being a pawn
Being everything for everyone
And nobody for me
I'm done caring what they think
I think I'll just be me

You left your weight on me
Held me to a standard
I couldn't possibly reach
You took a mirror
And broke it in front of me
Staring through the whole of it
And reflecting on me

It's so sad
How you can take everything
Apart like that
You're so in denial
And you'll never change
Well guess what this time
You can't lie to me

I'm so done done done
Let it burn burn burn
I'm a phoenix in your ashes
And I'm flying away
Leaving you to the curb

I think I'll be alright
I think I'll be okay
It's more than I think
I know I'll be great
You're no longer in my life
And I'm finally free
You can't kick me down
Because despite you I'm still me

Hey
Just wanna let them know
I've fought one hell of a fight
And I'm still in a battle
But the worst is over yet
Now I'm a lamp post

I'm gonna tell my story
I'll no longer be quiet
I'm gonna speak up
It'll be a riot
To see the disbelief on their face
When I make it out okay
And move on from everything

I'm trying to move forward
But my trauma holds me back
Think I've found my voice
Think I'm finally pushing back
I'm done being a pawn
Being everything for everyone
And nobody for me
I'm done caring what they think
I think I'll just be me

I'm so done done done
Let it burn burn burn
I'm a phoenix in your ashes
And I'm flying away
Leaving you to the curb

I think I'll be alright
I think I'll be okay
It's more than I think
I know I'll be great
You're no longer in my life
And I'm finally free
You can't kick me down
Because despite you I'm still me
