Still Alive
Lisa Miskovsky Lyrics

I have changed, I have changed
I have changed and evolved, just like you.

For how long, for how long must I wait?
I'm waiting for a change, and I'm getting impatient.

I know there's something wrong
I sense that there's something off about the situation.

Your concrete heart isn't beating
You seem emotionally unavailable; you have no heart.

And I've tried to make it come alive
I've tried to awaken your emotions, but it hasn't worked.

No shadows, just red lights
There's no hiding anymore; we're in a state of alarm.

Now I'm here to rescue you
I'm here to save you from yourself.

Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I'm still here, despite everything that's happened.

I cannot apologize, no
I don't feel guilty, so I won't apologize.

So silent, no violence
There's no physical conflict, but the silence speaks volumes.

But inside my head so loud and clear
I'm screaming internally, even though it may not show.

You're screaming, you're screaming
You're screaming for help, but no one can hear you.

Covered up with a smile I've learned to fear
You hide behind a smile, and I've learned to mistrust it.

Just sunshine and blue sky
The facade of happiness is all that we have.

Is this is all we get for living here?
Is this the entirety of life, just sunshine and smiles?

Come fire, come fire
I'm ready for a challenge; I'm prepared to face whatever comes.

Let it burn and love come racing through
Let everything burn, so that love can flourish.

I've learned to lose, I've learned to win
I'm experienced in both failure and success.

I turn my face against the wind
I'll face obstacles head-on, even if it's difficult.

I will move fast, I will move slow
I'll progress at my own pace, not dictated by anyone else.

Take me where I have to go
I'm ready for whatever journey comes next.
