Alive

Lyrics

"Son," she said
 "Have I got a little story for you?"
 "What you thought was your daddy
 Was nothin' but a-"
 "While you were sittin'
 Home alone at age 13
 Your real daddy was dyin'
 Sorry you didn't see him
 But I'm glad we talked"
 Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
 Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive
 Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive, yeah, oh
 While she walks slowly
 Across a young man's room
 She said, "I'm ready, for you"
 I can't remember anything to this very day
 'Cept the look, the look
 Oh, you know where
 Now I can't see, I just stare
 I, I, I'm still alive
 Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive
 Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive
 Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive, yeah
 ♪
 "Is something wrong?" She said
 Of course there is
 "You're still alive," she said
 Oh, do I deserve to be?
 Is that the question?
 And if so, if so
 Who answers?
 Who answers?
 I, I, I'm still alive
 Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive
 Yeah, yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive
 Yeah, yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

 I'm still-
 Yeah, oh-oh-oh
 Ooh, wow, oh-oh-oh
 Yeah, oh-oh-oh
