If I could write to the kid I was before,
I'd tell him, you'll get anything you ever wanted,
But you would still want more
Someone's gonna tell you, who you should wanna be
So you'll forget the vision that they didn't wanna 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 fallin'
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
But then 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!
Here I am alive! Here I am alive!
Here I am alive! Here I am alive!
