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]
