Here I Am Alive lyrics

If I could write to the kid I was before

I'd tell him you'll get everything you ever wanted

But you will still want more

Someone's going to tell you

Who you should want to be

So you'll forget the vision that they didn't want to see

And when they give up, 'cause they will give up

Say, here I am alive

They say you don't grow up

You just grow old

It's safe to say I haven't done both

I made mistakes, I know, I know

But here I am alive

So many people close to me cut me down

This is supposed to be a bad luck town

I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground

But here I am alive

If I could write to myself

When I was on top of it all

I'd say you're going overboard

And when you're falling

You're gonna feel so small

Someone's gonna tell you that you deserve the worst

They'll say you're never coming back

And tell you that you're cursed

And when they give up, cause they always give up

Say, here I am alive

They say you don't grow up

You just grow old

It's safe to say I haven't done both

I made mistakes, I know, I know

But here I am alive

So many people close to me cut me down

This is supposed to be a bad luck town

I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground

But here I am alive

And when they give up, cause they will give up

Say, here I am alive

When they give up, cause they always give up

Say, here I am alive

They say you don't grow up

You just grow old

It's safe to say I haven't done both

I made mistakes, I know, I know

But here I am alive

So many people close to me cut me down

This is supposed to be a bad luck town

I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground

But here I am alive

Here I am alive!

Here I am alive!

Here I am alive!

Here I am alive!

If I could write to the kid I was before
