here i am alive

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 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
