How It Feels to Be Alive

When my heart doesn't beat anymore
 
 And my body's cold
 You will walk, dressed in black, to my door
 And the bells will toll
 You use my love like an open vein
 Just when I thought it would heal
 Back you came
 Seeing you again for the first time
 Tryna look ahead and not behind
 Raging as you do against the tide
 Knowing that your his instead of mine
 Getting used to being hurt again
 Every day is closer to the end
 Holding back the tears I need to cry
 Waiting to breathe for the last time
 Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
 ♪
 That's how it feels to be alive

 At my grave, they did say one last verse
 About the new love that you found
 
 And I lay in the rain by the church
 And they lured me into the ground
 
 You stole my heart as your souvenir
 ♪
 Thought that you would never come back
 But now you're here
 Seeing you again for the first time
 Tryna look ahead and not behind
 Raging as you do against the tide
 Knowing that your his instead of mine
 Getting used to being hurt again
 Every day is closer to the end
 Holding back the tears I need to cry
 Waiting to breathe for the last time
 Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
 ♪
 Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
 ♪
 Yeah, 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
