Phoenix With a Heartache Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a bone cold night
I'm breathing in the air
It's freezing up my lungs
As I fight for words to share with you
To tell you what you've done to me
You ripped me from my set in stone complacency

[Chorus]
You rose from the ashes
Like a phoenix with a heartache
Now you're taking me away with you tonight
And I know that I can't fly
But when I'm in your arms, I'm holding up the sky

[Verse 2]
It's a bone cold night
I'm writhing in despair
It's freezing up my heart
As you fight for words to share with me
To tell me what my eyes can't see
You ripped me from my set in stone complacency

[Chorus]
You rose from the ashes
Like a phoenix with a heartache
Now you're taking me away with you tonight
And I know that I can't fly
But when I'm in your arms, I'm holding up the sky
I'm holding up the sky
[Bridge]
I'm holding up the sky
And there you were, standing there
Like an answer to a dream I never had
You showed me everything
Showed me everything
Showed me everything I never knew about me

[Chorus]
You rose from the ashes
Like a phoenix with a heartache
Now you're taking me away with you tonight
And I know that I can't fly
But when I'm in your arms, I'm holding up the sky
I'm holding up the sky

[Chorus]
You rose from the ashes
Like a phoenix with a heartache
Now you're taking me away with you tonight
