Lyrics
Alive
Words & Music by Ian Davis
Verse
I used to be so about the glamour
Everything about me seemed like one big illusion
And all of the things that really mattered
Got tangled up and tossed around in all my confusion
Chorus
But I am still alive and I?m free
My loneliness is over
Now my heart can see
What it means to be real
Pretending to believe in me
Is not how I feel
Verse
So many pages left to turn
My sentimental memories will just keep on waiting
And all of the bridges that I?ve burned
Are not beyond repairing in my new situation
Chorus
Cause I am still alive and I?m free
My loneliness is over
Now my heart can see
What it means to be real
Pretending to believe in me
Is not how I feel ?..is not how I deal
Bridge
I was never there, I just didn?t care
Running away on my own
I couldn?t see the things in front of me
That were staring right into my soul
Now my second chance is here
INSTR. BREAK
Chorus
I?m alive and I?m free
My loneliness is over
Now my heart can see
REPEAT FADE
