Still Alive

You've spent too long waiting on a change
 But it never came
 Did you wait in vain?
 I don't know your name
 But I know you well
 
 I'm just like you in that I had to fight through every day
 Trying to numb the pain
 Drink it all away
 Smoke another strain
 Didn't know myself
 
 I'm not gonna tell you it's okay
 Or to not complain
 Or that it's a phase
 But you're not insane
 Even when your back's up against a wall
 Even when you're down, and almost out
 When it looks the worst and getting worse
 Still alive
 You can always try
 Even when your back's up against a wall
 Even when your light is burning out
 When it looks the worst and getting worse
 Still alive
 You can always try
 ♪
 I know that it's hard so don't get me wrong
 I don't want my words
 To be misheard
 Or to make it worse
 But I've been around
 We have all got our own heavy cross to bear
 It's a metaphor
 Like I said before
 I can look at yours
 'Cause I've been around
 I'm not gonna tell you it's okay
 Or to not complain
 Or that it's a phase
 But you're not insane
 Even when your back's up against a wall
 Even when you're down, and almost out
 When it looks the worst and getting worse
 Still alive
 You can always try
 Even when your back's up against a wall
 Even when your light, is burning out
 When it looks the worst and getting worse
 Still alive
 You can always try

 I've been all blue, many times
 I've been knocked down so many times
 So many times, so many times
 I've been knocked down so many times
 I've been knocked down so many times
 I've been knocked down so many times
 So many times, so many times
