Still Alive
Amir Brandon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
‘Cause I know that you’d know exactly what to say
To relieve the stress, to get this broken heart out my chest
‘Cause I don’t know where I’m going
When I’m so used to knowing
Oh, I’m sorry I’m a mess tonight
But if it’s alright
I just wanna
Hold you till I forget I’m dying inside
Could you remind me that I’m still alive?
And love me, yeah
And love me
We could get blasted, watch re-runs of Grey’s
And I could just imagine everything is okay
Maybe you could be everything that I need
‘Cause I don’t know where I’m going
When I’m so used to knowing
Oh, I’m sorry I’m a mess tonight
But if it’s alright
I just wanna
(And love me)
(And love me)
And love me
Till I forget I’m dying inside
(And love me)
Remind me that I’m still alive
And love me, yeah
And love me
And love me, yeah
And love me
