Lyrics I will overcome Raye

 59

I will overcome


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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
