Alive Songtext

von Sia

I was born in a thunderstorm
I grew up overnight
I played alone, I played on my own
I survived

I wanted everything I never had like the love that comes with life
I wore Ambien and I hated it, but I survived

I had wanted to go to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change, and nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies, and you're taught to cry in your pillow, but I'll survive

I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

I found solace in the strangest place
Way in the back of my mind
I saw my life in a stranger's face, and it was mine
I had wanted to go to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change, and nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies, and you're taught to cry in your pillow, but I'll survive

I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

You took it out, but I'm still breathing
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
You took it out, but I'm still breathing

I had made every single mistake that you could ever possibly make
I took and I took and I took what you gave, but you never noticed that I was in pain
I knew what I wanted, I went in and got it
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
I told you that I would never be forgotten
I know that's part of you

And I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm alive
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
I'm alive
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
I'm alive
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
I'm alive

I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
