Lyrics

They Were Sitting Alone In The Car When He Told Her
He Didn’t Want To Hurt Her, But He Did
She Asked For The Truth
But -Honestly Honesty Is Not The Way, You Know
‘Cause She Blew Up And Told Him To Go

Packing Up His Bags
She Was Throwing His Rags All Around The Room
Screaming “It’s Your Fault” Never Come Back Home
I’ve Got A Meeting On Zoom
Go!

(So)
I’m Beginning My New Life Far Away From You
I’m Beginning To Rise
Beyond The Ashes That We Knew

(I Guess)
She Couldn’t Take It Anymore
He Couldn’t Lead A Double-Life
Always Trying To Please Her
Like He Was Ever Really Worth Her Time (Cause)
She Saw Her Self More Than She Saw Him Acting Like Some Barbie Doll
(While)
She Threw Her Hands Up
He Kept His Head Down

(So)
I’m Beginning My New Life
Far Away From You
I’m Beginning To Rise
Beyond The Ashes That We Knew

My Father Would Tell Me, “Have Courage”
My Mother Would Say, “This Will Pass”
My Brother Would Tell Me, “One Thing At A Time”
My Sisters Say, “Man, You’re Still Good”

My Father Would Tell Me, “Have Courage”
My Mother Would Say, “This Will Pass”
My Brother Would Tell Me, “One Thing At A Time”
My Sisters Say, “Man, You’re Still Good”

Yeah!

I’m Beginning My New Life
Far Away From You
I’m Beginning To Rise
Beyond The Ashes That We Knew
My Father Would Tell Me, “Have Courage”
My Mother Would Say, “This Will Pass”
My Brother Would Tell Me, “One Thing At A Time”
My Sisters Say, “Man, You’re Still Good”

I’ve Been Down
I’ve Been Out For So Long This Is Nothing New

(So)
I’m Beginning My New Life
Far Away From You
I’m Beginning To Rise
Beyond The Ashes That We Knew
