Like the Phoenix

Promises broken
Expectations crashed
Unfairness overflowing
My mind and chest

I need a new dream
To keep me going 
I need light 
to fulfill my chest

I'm shattered now
But I'll grab my pieces
And like the Phoenix 
Reborn from the ashes

Cause i know i can
I've the strength in me
I just need this pain
To be in the past

Tomorrow will be
My new beginning
I'll dry my tears
I'll try my best 

Cause I'm no quiter
That's not in me
Cause I'll fight
Until I reach success.
