"Alive" lyrics

(I just wanna feel alive)

I'm breathing in
The oxygen
Can't keep my head above the water
When does it end
I'm caving in

The way it feels
Like nothing's real
I don't wanna fade away
Tried everything
I'll never win
And I've always been this way

(But can I change?)

Give me a sign
'Cause life is hard to find
When the light surrenders to the night
Blind even with open eyes
'Cause I'm still dead inside
Even when I'm trying to survive
All I know
I just wanna feel alive
(I just wanna feel alive)

So what's it like to know that it gets better
Are you fighting something if there's nothing there
I'm running in circles
I'm swinging at thin air
The misery
It surrounds me
Heartbeat failing to revive
Wandering as I'm losing my mind
So give me a sign

'Cause life is hard to find
When the light surrenders to the night
Blind even with open eyes
'Cause I'm still dead inside
Even when I'm trying to survive
All I know
I just wanna feel alive
I just wanna feel alive

Walking down this narrow road
Sorrow has become my home
Darkness falls and shadows grow
Pain is all I've ever known

Life is hard to find
In absence of light
Even when I open my eyes
'Cause I'm still dead inside
Even if I'm trying to survive
All I know
I just wanna feel alive
I just wanna feel alive (alive)
