Lyrics

[Intro] I'll overcome (She will, she will, she will) I'll overcome (Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed, she will) There's a thin grey veil over her horizon The wall between hope and despair She exists behind it She will overcome [Verse 1] Five hundred steps left to make it to the front doorMy red high heels click, click, four many too drinks I feel my backboneThreaten to greet the concrete below I mean, who wants to bе in Paris drunk and alone? Where thе phantom of a past love lingers in the cracks ofThe cobblestones that I march on and it haunts me, and it taunts me And su-su-su-suddenly in a reflection of a Chanel boutiqueWindow, I can see the old me and I hate her [Pre-Chorus] 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 amountAnd the evil in insults, the arrows from your tongueIs the same devils you tortured her with Anyhow, I [Chorus]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 oneI will overcome [Post-Chorus] There's a thin grey veil over her horizon The wall between hope and despair She exists behind it She will overcome Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will, yes I will Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes I will, oh [Verse 2] 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 happierAnd content and complete (To feel better I'll shall arrange a sad little feast)[Pre-Chorus]Where I will jump up and down on my bed in my griefAnd I'll play Edith Piaf, and I'll dance and I'll eatChocolate cake and I'll have no regrets, till IWake up and hate me now, I must know, anyhowI will keep on [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Five hundred steps left, maybe I have lost countMy battery died, so I'm not sure if I turn left or turn rightAs 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 storyYou may say I look crazy, but I won't even careAren'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 [Chorus] I'll overcome, I-I-I, I-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, oh, oh, oh, oh [Outro] 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
