Alive
Demotional Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This time it's over, and you're no longer here
And i wont give it a try

I wont keep fighting, for something that wont last
theres no use to deny or live in the past

ill keep this this simple i will speak the truth
listen close to me and comprehend

this time theres no turning back
you have crossed the line

everything has an end everyone has a call
but do you feel alive

tell me,
cant you hear me,
understand me,
im falling down in dispair

help me,
come and save me,
understand me,
I'm shouting, but there's no one there

I understand that theres no room for me but tell me
are you feeling alive
and even tho you've moved on in life i ask you
are you feeling alive

How can i decide what to believe, is it the truth your telling me
You break me down just to see if your in control

i close my eyes and feel regret, even tho i try i cant forget
that you can sink so low

This time i will make a stand, everything you touch turns in to sand
I dont need you

I know your safer where you are, the touch of time has made it's call
Do you feel alive

tell me,
cant you hear me,
understand me,
im falling down in dispair

help me,
come and save me,
understand me
I'm shouting, but there's no one there

I understand that theres no room for me but tell me
are you feeling alive




and even tho you've moved on in life i ask you
are you feeling alive
