I was born in a thunderstorm,
I grew up overnight, I played alone,
I'm playing on my own, I survived.
Hey, 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.
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.
