When words come flooding from your mouth
The flames inside my soul die out
I'll pick myself up off the floor
And like a phoenix I will soar
Your words can't hurt me now I see
That what you say won't define me
If you cut me with your words
If you shoot me with your lies
I won't die
Instead I'll rise
If you tell me I am worthless
Give me hate, say I deserve it
I won't hide
Instead I'll rise
Feed on me like a parasite
You have a wicked appetite
You bite at every single piece
To draw out my insecurities
I'll wear my flaws upon my sleeve
You'll never take my dignity
If you cut me with your words
If you shoot me with your lies
I won't die
Instead I'll rise
If you tell me I am worthless
Give me hate, say I deserve it
I won't hide
Instead I'll rise
You're always tearing me apart
Shove your dagger straight into my heart
I won't cave
You always make it rain on my parade
But this time around I won't be afraid
I'll be brave
When words come flooding from your mouth
The flames inside my soul die out
If you cut me with your words
If you shoot me with your lies
I won't die
Instead I'll rise
If you tell me I am worthless
Give me hate, say I deserve it
I won't hide
Instead I'll rise
I will
I will rise
I will
I will rise
I will rise
I will rise
