Phoenix Lyrics

Verse 1
It's stuck in my head / that it's all my fault
My tiny studio doesn't feel like home
Sip my fancy coffee / sleep on the floor
Living month to month, it's all I can afford

Pre-Chorus
You say we just don’t understand
(It just cant be done)
But someone's gotta try
(You're too naive)
We've had to grow up so fast
(When I was your age I'd already packed my parachute)

Chorus
You asked me for a chorus as (Disappointment)
You slipped the knife into my lung (Listen here, kid)
Then questioned my commitment (We gave you everything)
When no melody was sung (But you wanted more)

We were set up for failure (Expectations)
Your gilded age came at the cost (You want it handed to you)
Lost and broken homes (Didn’t your parents)
prosperity we'll never know (Ever tell you no?)

Verse 2
We'll set our course / despite your tempest
We're carving out a place to call our own
You keep your judgments. We'll prove you wrong
When you say things are never gonna change

Pre-Chorus
You say we just don’t understand
(It just cant be done)
But someone's gotta try
(You're too naive)
We've had to grow up so fast
(When I was your age I'd already packed my parachute)

Chorus
You asked me for a chorus as (Disappointment)
You slipped the knife into my lung (Listen here, kid)
Then questioned my commitment (We gave you everything)
When no melody was sung (But you wanted more)

We were set up for failure (Expectations)
Your gilded age came at the cost (You want it handed to you)
Lost and broken homes (Didn’t your parents)
prosperity we'll never know (Ever tell you no?)

Chorus

You slipped the knife into my lung (Listen here, kid)
Then questioned my commitment (We gave you everything)
When no melody was sung (But you wanted more)

We were set up for failure (Expectations)
Your gilded age came at the cost (You want it handed to you)
Lost and broken homes (Didn’t your parents)
prosperity we'll never know (Ever tell you no?)
