"Phoenix"

I used to believe in love,
But now I'm not sure what to believe
It seems as though the rest of them
Have left that dream behind

When even friends betray you
And loves seem hard to reach
You find yourself the more alone
And wondering why

Try as I might, it doesn't seem
To make any difference to them
And fate has left me here, alone
Lost along my way

So should I leap into the pyre
And burn away the night
So at the dawn I might return
A phoenix born again?
