Phoenix

Tell you 'bout the future Of a heart that heals with time... Still I see in you Someone I once know Way back in the past When my song had words And the words were meant for you Tell me when did our future end? Now I see the truth staring out a window At love gone astray Running from herself Trying to make believe That it was just a dream 'Cause when love asks of you More than you can give You find a way to disappear Don't you think it's strange That love could make us strangers? To be your friend You ask too much of me For now I need some time to be Alone, yes alone Isn't it strange to love alone I know 'bout the future Only time will tell If you see in me Someone you once know A shadow in your life Before your song had words And your words will ring true About love you left in the flames Well when the smoke clears and I rise You'll see pain deep in my eyes But you won't see a tender heart afraid of breaking The time for tears is yesterday The time for my life is now It's time to say My heart will rise again I will rise again --- Phoenix - Buckshot LeFonque and Branford Marsalis
