I'll overcome

She will she will she will

I'll overcome

Yes indeed yes indeed yes indeed she will

Five hundred steps left to make it to the front door

My red high heels click click

Four many too drinks

I feel my backbone

Threaten to greet the concrete below

I mean who wants to be in Paris

Drunk and alone?

Where the phantom of a past love

Lingers in the cracks of

The cobblestones that I March on

And it haunts me and it taunts me

And su- su- su- suddenly

In a reflection of a Chanel boutique

Window I can see the old me and I hate her

I feel syrup strands of blue moonlight

Pour through the clouds

To find me out like a spotlight

As if Heaven's watching down

To illustrate briefly the state of my mind

I have black cat-eye glasses

So I look chic as I cry

And it's funny some people say I

Remind them of Amy

Some spit through their keyboards

I'll never amount

And the evil in insults

The arrows from your tongue

Is the same devils you tortured her with

Anyhow I

I'll overcome

She will she will she will

I'll overcome

Yes indeed yes indeed yes indeed

When this wicked world wants to whisper

You can not

You won't be

You will not

So go home

And shut up

And go sleep

This is a song to remind me

Since I needed one

I will overcome

Yes I will yes I will yes I will yes I will

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yes I will oh

Five hundred steps back and I was doing so well

So well

Whilst scrolling I sighed

I'm so jealous

Of everyone online

Who is so much happier

And content and complete

To feel better

I'll shall arrange a sad little feast

Where I will jump up and down

On my bed in my grief

And I'll play Edith Piaf

And I'll dance and I'll eat

Chocolate cake and I'll

Have no regrets till I

Wake up and hate me now

I must know anyhow

I will keep on

I'll overcome

She will she will she will

I'll overcome

Yes indeed yes indeed yes indeed

When this wicked world wants to whisper

You can not

You won't be

You will not

So go home

And shut up

And go sleep

This is a song to remind me

Since I needed one

Five hundred steps left maybe I have lost count

My battery died

So I'm not sure if I turn left or turn right

As my eyes gathered tears

It's as if it was staged

How the night skies above

Start to thunder and rain

Like a Hollywood movie

With some sad exceptions

No lover to kiss

Or promised happy endings

I'll swing 'round this street lamp

And I'll give you a story

You may say I look crazy

But I won't even care

Aren't we all broken people

Just perfect how to hide it

And life's guarantee's

That we're all going to die

So am I going to live like this all of my life?

I'm not okay right now

But I'll get there somehow I

I'll overcome

I

I'll overcome

She will

When this wicked world wants to whisper

You can not

You won't be

You will not

So go home

And shut up

And go sleep

This is my song to remind me

I needed one

I will overcome

There's a thin grey veil over her horizon

And it is the wall between hope and despair

She exists behind it

She will overcome
