I Am Alive (Live)

I am alive, I'm standing right here
I'm screaming loud, straight in your ear
You're standing proud, but tell me dear
What's sadness like when you hide every tear

We've had our differences, our ups and downs
We've been separated, lost and found
I endure your insults, every word you say
You wish you could hide, wish you could run away

You've always been a traitor, such a threat you pose
You shut out your friends and keep your enemies close
You've been down this road, this is the life you chose
Now you hide your scars and say you're stronger than most

When you're feeling lost inside
And there's nowhere left to hide
Where will you turn
You've given up the fight
And now you see the light
When will you learn?

You changed so much, I don't know you anymore
I've never seen this side of you before
You and I were once very much the same
Until you used me like a pawn in your game

Your poison spread far with every lie you told
Your heart laid lost, your soul was sold
Your scars don't fade, your wounds don't heal
You don't know what is fake, you don't know what is real

Your words hit hard like a stick or stone
Your voice cuts deep, your hands break every bone
You cause others pain so you can hide your own
Then you cry at night when you're all alone

When you're feeling lost inside
And there's nowhere left to hide
Where will you turn?
Where will you turn?

You've given up the fight
And now you see the light
When will you learn?
When will you learn?

I tried to hold on
But you just slipped away
There are no more words
I have nothing left to say
Tonight's the night
Everything will be alright
For the first time
I am alive
