Lyrics
Tell me babe, want to leave this town?
I'm saying, love it if you want to go I'm down
'Cause darling we were meant to be a thing
This place keeps killing our dreams
Let's go love, I'm saying it's time
Of waiting we could leave this
Whole place behind
You may write me down in history
With your bitter twisted lies
You may trod me in the very dirt
I'll rise
You can shoot me with your words
You can cut me with your lies
You can kill me with your hatefulness but just like life
I'll rise
A black ocean leaping and wide
Welling and swelling and bearing in the tide
Leaving behind nights of terror, and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak miraculously clear
I rise
This place keeps killing our dreams
Let's go love
I'm saying it's time
We could leave this whole place behind
'Cause darling we were meant to be a thing
Leave this whole place behind
