Alive
Kehlani Lyrics

Rain is good for the soul
The rain brings comfort and healing to my soul.

Crazy how I feel the most warm when it's cold
It's strange that I feel most alive and comforted when things are at their coldest and hardest.

Drops hit the window and I drop down to the floor
When I am alone and it's raining, I sometimes feel a deep sadness and vulnerability that words cannot express.

I assume this is when I would miss you the most
I realize that this would be the time when I would miss you the most if you were still here with me.

I'm lying down
I am currently laying on the ground, feeling a mixture of emotions.

I've got this notepad where you laid your head
I have a notepad where you once laid your head that reminds me of you.

We use to go round and round
We used to argue and fight with each other a lot in the past.

Making love in my bed
We used to be intimate and share a lot of passion in my bed.

We were in so deep / We could barely tread
We were in a deep and intense relationship that was starting to weigh us down and becoming difficult to manage.

But now I found a way to heal myself instead
But now I have found a way to heal myself and move on from the pain.

And damn I feel alive (whoa, whoa) / Baby, damn I feel alive (whoa, whoa) / It's like something has to die (whoa, whoa) / To help you realize (whoa, whoa) / Damn I feel alive
I feel so alive and liberated now that I have let go of the past and the hurt. Sometimes, in order to truly live, you have to let go of the things that are holding you back.

We were in a weird place / Crazy how a person you love could just change
We were in a strange and uncomfortable place in our relationship. It's shocking how easily someone you love can suddenly change.

Now I am learning to realize we needed our space
Now I understand that we both needed space to grow and move on with our lives.

I could never hurt you, we use to be great
I never wanted to hurt you because we used to be so great together. It's sad how things change sometimes.

And you use to say, what goes around comes around so fast / Now just look at the way / I'm moving on and you stuck in the past
You used to warn me that karma always catches up fast, but now I can see that I'm moving on and thriving, while you're still stuck in the past.

I deserve a love that is gonna last / But until then I will just raise this glass
I know that I deserve a love that will last, but until I find it, I will raise my glass and celebrate my freedom and newfound happiness.

I feel, I feel / Turn this song up if you feel alive / I feel, you feel / Let it all go cause right now's the time / Let go, live on / So you can be free, yeah free to fly / I know it's hard but it's worth it
I feel so alive and free, and I want to share that feeling with anyone who is going through a hard time. It's time to let go, live in the present, and be free to fly. It's hard, but it's worth it.
