lyrics

I Believe by Eleanore & the Lost
(Words and music by Eleanore Duggan)

Living in a swampland with a crocodile
Charming me with "I Love You"s
And oh, such a pretty smile
And every time you bit
Like a fool, I just took it
Hoping you weren't the man your past said you were
But my fate was sealed and now I know better

But I'm a phoenix rising from the ash
You tried to clip my wings thinking that I'd crash
But my world belongs to me
And now you're gone
I'm finally free

Everyone who knows you, well they don't know you at all
You unmasked in the end
And I was shocked by what I saw
But all your absence left
Was my new found power and strength
Knowing I'm all the things you'll never be
Seeing your pattern, it was nothing to do with me

'Cos I'm a phoenix rising from the ash
You tried to clip my wings thinking that I'd crash
But my world belongs to me
And now you're gone...
I'm a phoenix rising from the ash
You tried to clip my wings thinking that I'd crash
But my world belongs to me
And now you're gone
I'm finally

And I think you tried
But you don't know how to love
'Cos you can't stop thinking about number one
For long enough

I'm a phoenix rising from the ash
You tried to clip my wings thinking that I'd crash
But my world belongs to me
And now you're gone
I'm finally
Free, you can never hurt me
Oh, I'm free
And now you're gone
I can live again
The day you left was one the best
I said the day you left was one of the best, yeah
And now you're gone
I'm finally free
