I'm Alive
Loverboy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ha
There are moments in my life
Everything becomes so clear
I am going through that moment
And I′m so glad that you are here
Oh, I'm alive
Survived it all
Went to the wall

To see another day
Yeah, I′m alive
Through it all I took the fault
And never lost my faith
Yeah
They have kicked me when I'm down
But I'm stronger lying down and alone
They can pull me to the ground
But I′ll just keep on getting up
I′m alive
Survived it all
Went to the wall
To see another day
Yeah, I'm alive
And through it all I took the fault
And never lost my faith
Yeah
Yeah oooo
And never lost my faith
There are moments in my life
Everything becomes so clear
Nobody′s wrong
Nobody's right
Nobody else can live my life
Nobody′s wrong
Nobody's right
Nobody else can live my life
Nobody′s wrong
Nobody's right
Nobody else can live my life
Nobody's wrong
Nobody′s right

Nobody else can live my life
Yeah

I bought the Just Getting Started CD specifically so I could download this bonus track from rockstar music corp's website. When I got the CD I found there was no CD code anywhere in the sleeve or CD. I tried to enter the product code of the CD and that doesn't work. There is no CD code after the website URL. Maybe they changed the packaging? I'm a really disappointed. If anyone has the code please let me know.
