Rose from the ashes

"I thought you were avoiding the problem

but you were just getting lost in the things you love.
This story will not need a requiem,
because I had you and I know you are above.
I was dreading the moment where I would see you cry
because the sound could make my heart break a little more.
I know you saw the worst of me, I swear.
I realized it when you picked me up from the fire.
The rule was no love no rise, baby.
This is how it worked and this is how you played.
I rose from the ashes after losing you.
I thought I couldn't live without you
but look where I'm standing now.
You gave me the chance to see 
I'm not depending on you anymore.
I rose from the ashes after leaving you."
