baby i'm a wounded bird
flew into the storm and i got hurt
didn't see the thundercloud
till i lay broken on the ground

oh i keep falling, and my heart keeps pulling me
into the same old mess of empty promises
one day flying, and the next day crying
i was lost but then you found me

lying under stars, wrapped up in your arms
i'm remembering what love is
ooh what love is
don't you dare let go, we don't need to take it slow now
love me the way he never did
'cause baby i've got a heart like a phoenix
oh i've got a heart like a phoenix
oh i've got a heart like a phoenix

mama says that i should wait,
there's only so much that a heart can take
but i will not be satisfied
till i have loved a thousand times

oh i keep falling, and my heart keeps pulling me
into the same old mess of empty promises
one day flying, and the next day crying
i was lost but then you found me

lying under stars, wrapped up in your arms
i'm remembering what love is
ooh what love is
don't you dare let go, we don't need to take it slow now
love me the way he never did
'cause baby i've got a heart like a phoenix
oh i've got a heart like a phoenix
oh i've got a heart like a phoenix

like a feather blowing on the wind
i keep tumbling
trying to find a love that makes me feel alive
there's an ache i carry deep within
yes my heart needs to burn to survive

lying under stars, wrapped up in your arms
i'm remembering what love is
ooh what love is
don't you dare let go, we don't need to take it slow now
love me the way he never did
'cause baby i've got a heart like a phoenix
oh i've got a heart like a phoenix
oh i've got a heart like a phoenix
oh i've got a heart like a phoenix
oh i've got a heart like a phoenix
