I Lived
OneRepublic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

Hope when you take that jump
You don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises
You built a wall
Hope when the crowd screams out
It's screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay



I hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad, yeah
The only way you can know
You give it all you have
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
Hope when the moment comes
You'll say

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
Mm, and when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup, oh
I wish that I could witness
All your joy and all your pain
But until my moment comes
I'll say

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived

(With every broken bone)
I swear I lived
(With every broken bone)
I swear I

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone

I swear I lived
I swear I lived

The first I ever heard this song I decided to drop out of college, that wasn't my call, it never was

I decided instead to pursue my real dreams and one day conquer them.

Today has been 5 years since that time and tomorrow I am expecting to receive the biggest notice of my life so far.

I don't know what this new journey will be in my life, but I have been waiting to live my life for 23 years.

All I know is that my dreams finally came true.

I will update this message in 5 years, and I know that the next time I will be writting here, all those things that I've ever dream about, all those things that I always wish to achieve, I did it.

See you soon

Hope when you take that jump, you don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises, you built a wall
Hope when the crowd screams out, they're screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay

Hope that you fall in love, and it hurts so bad
The only way you can know is give it all you have
And I hope that you don't suffer but take the pain
Hope when the moment comes, you'll say...

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived

Hope that you spend your days, but they all add up
And when that sun goes down, hope you raise your cup
Oh, I wish that I could witness all your joy and all your pain
But until my moment comes, I'll say...

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived

Oh [4x]

With every broken bone, I swear I lived.
With every broken bone, I swear I...

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived.

Oh [4x]

I swear I lived. Ohhh [2x]

This song is a perfect example of one of my favorite quotes:

"You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they'll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons."

My daughter is now 8 years old. She has cystic fibrosis. Ever since you launched this song… I’ve made sure to pick her up and dance to this song… wether we’re at home or in hospital. She absolutely loves it. Thank you so much for all the memories I’ve created with her so far. She is my biggest hero.
