How It Feels To Be Alive

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
When my heart doesn't beat anymoreAnd my body's coldYou will walk, dressed in black, to my doorAnd the bells will tollYou use my love like an open veinJust when I thought it would healBack you cameSeeing you again for the first timeTryna look ahead and not behindRaging as you do against the tideKnowing that your his instead of mineGetting used to being hurt againEvery day's closer to the endHolding back the tears I need to cryWaiting to breathe for the last timeYeah, that's how it feels to be aliveThat's how it feels to be aliveAt my grave, they did say one last verse'Bout the new love that you foundAnd I lay in the rain by the churchAnd they lured me into the groundYou stole my heart as your souvenirThought that you would never come backBut now you're hereSeeing you again for the first timeTryna look ahead and not behindRaging as you do against the tideKnowing that your his instead of mineGetting used to being hurt againEvery day's closer to the endHolding back the tears I need to cryWaiting to breathe for the last timeYeah, that's how it feels to be aliveYeah, that's how it feels to be aliveYeah, that's how it feels to be alive(Outside waiting in the cold again)(I'm outside waiting to be held again)Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive(Outside standing on my own again)That's how it feels to be alive
