Songtekst
I was born in a thunderstorm, I grew up overnight
I played alone, I played on my own
I survived
I wanted everything I never had, like the love that comes with light
I wore envy and I hated that
But I survived
I had a one-way-ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're thought to cry in your pillow
But I survived
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I found solace in the strangest place,
Way in the back of my own mind
I saw my life in a stranger's face,
And it was mine
I had a one-way-ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're thought to cry in your pillow
But I survived
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
You took it all but I'm still breathing (8x)
I have made every single mistake that you could ever possibly make
I took and I took and I took what you gave
But you never noticed that I was in pain
I knew what I wanted I went and I got it
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
I told you that I would never be forgotten
And I know that's part of you
But I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm alive (You took it all but I'm still breathing)
(You took it all but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it all but I'm still breathing)
(You took it all but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it all but I'm still breathing)
(You took it all but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
