"Alive" lyrics

I sat alone in the cold
In my room that night
My face was wet with the tears
Of a thousand and one lonely nights

No one came
No one called
No one cared
And no one saw

And yet everything was alright
As I sat there in my loneliness
Wrapped my arms around my knees
And I held tight
I could feel my heart beat

That's how I know
I'm alive [8x]
I feel because I'm alive

Sometimes it's not easy to
And I don't want to feel
But if I close off and just be numb
What would I become?

Shutting down
Getting by
Even though
There's pain inside

That's how I know
I'm alive [8x]
I feel because I'm alive

I live, I breathe
Wanna feel every single thing
I'm alive
I wanna live, not just survive
I'm alive [10x]
