I'm Alive
Browne Jackson & Lindley David Lyrics

It's been a long time since I watched these lights alone
It's been a while since I've been alone with my thoughts.

I look around my life tonight and you are gone
I've realized you're no longer a part of my life.

I might have done something to keep you if I'd known
I could have done more to keep you if I had realized you were unhappy.

How unhappy you had become
I didn't realize how unhappy you were until after you left.

While I was dreaming of you
I've been thinking about you a lot lately.

With my heart in your hands
I entrusted my heart with you.

And I was following through
I was determined to make my plans a reality.

With my beautiful plans
My plans were something I was really excited about.

Yeah now I'm rolling down this canyon drive
I'm currently driving down a canyon road.

With your laughter in my head
I can't stop thinking about your laughter, even though it makes me sad.

I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
To keep myself from getting too upset, I need to find a way to not think about you as much.

'Cause those dreams are dead
The dreams we shared together aren't possible anymore.

And I'm alive
Despite the sadness I feel, I'm still here and moving on with my life.

I want to go where I will never hear your name
I wish I could go somewhere where I won't be reminded of you.

I want to lose my sorrow and be free again
I want to move on and be happy again.

And I know I've been insane
Looking back, I can see that I acted irrationally.

When I think of places I could have been
I sometimes wonder about what could have been if I made different choices.

Standing here by the highway side
I'm standing alongside the highway.

Watching these trucks blow by
I'm watching trucks drive past me.

Inches from my face
The trucks are driving very close to me.

Yeah thinking 'bout the time I've wasted
I'm reflecting on the past and how I've spent my time.

And the pleasure we once tasted
I'm remembering the happy times we shared together.

Looking up and down this road
I'm looking up and down the highway for some sort of sign or answer.

(Following through)
I'm still committed to following through on my plans, despite everything.

I've been here before (following through)
I've faced challenges before and persevered.

I can't be here no more (following through)
I need to make some changes in my life and move on.

Yeah now I'm rolling down California five
I'm currently driving down California highway number five.

Hey look at the way I believed in you
I trusted you and believed in you more than anything else.

And loved you all these years
I've loved you for years, despite everything.

Now you can fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears
I've cried so much over you that you could fill a swimming pool with my tears.

If you'd have told me what was in your heart
If you had been honest with me and told me how you felt,

But baby you lied
You deceived me instead.

And I thought it would kill me
At one point, I believed that losing you would destroy me completely.

But I'm alive
I'm still here, and still moving on with my life.

Yeah, I'm alive
Despite everything I've been through, I'm still alive and well.

Yeah baby I'm alive
I'm alive, and I'm starting to feel like myself again.

Yeah, I'm alive
I'm still here, and I'm going to keep moving forward.
