Alive Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I cannot ever find a way
To throw these darkened thoughts away
Need a place to hide
It's thrown in my face every day
Guess that's the price I have to pay
For what's inside my mind
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!

[Chorus]
I am alive
I will never run away
Places inside
My heart screams inside with pride
Once I cried
Now I wipe away the tears
Once I died
Now I'm alive
[Post-Chorus]
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!

[Verse 2]
Little things tick me every day
Contemplate how I like to play
Better not cross that line
Voices in my head happen to be saved
It's something I can't throw away
What's inside my mind

[Chorus]
I am alive
I will never run away
Places inside
My heart screams inside with pride
Once I cried
Now I wipe away the tears
Once I died
Now I'm alive
[Bridge]
I bide my time
I'm intertwined
I'm falling in this place
I thought I left behind
I bide my time
I'm intertwined
I'm falling in this place
I thought I left behind
I bide my time (Feeling so alone!)
I'm intertwined
I'm falling in this place
I thought I left behind
I bide my time (Feeling so alone!)
I'm intertwined
I'm falling in this place
I thought I left behind
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!

[Chorus]
I am alive
I will never run away
Places inside
My heart screams inside with pride
Once I cried
Now I wipe away the tears
Once I died
Now I'm alive

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
