Shelby Lynne - I'm Alive lyrics

rate me

Engines rev and trumpets roar

I don't hear your voice no more

And living isn't worth the fear of dying

Wrapped up package torn up clothes

Empty days and deep dark holes

The only thing that keeps a man from crying

Oh if I don't get you back I'll fall upon a railroad track

And let the steel wheels cut right through my bones

Oh if I don't get you back I'll cover up my bloody tracks

With sorrow hopes and hide my dying pride

Oh cause I'm alive

Whispers in a losers dream

Holding on to not a thing

Cause these arms now are paralyzed without you to hold

Bold with crazy have no fear

Children cry and then I hear

The message my lies tell me in my dreams

Oh if I don't get you back I'll fall upon a railroad track

And let the steel wheels cut right through my bones

Oh if I don't get you back I'll cover up my bloody tracks

With sorrow hopes and hide my dying pride

Oh cause I'm alive

Maybe if I caught the rain

In pails that filter out the pain

I'd realize why you had to go

Days of lightning show the way

And night time creeps and holds at bay

The missing you, the mean, the cold, the ugly

Oh if I don't get you back I'll fall upon a railroad track

And let the steel wheels cut right through my bones

Oh if I don't get you back I'll cover up my bloody tracks

With sorrow hopes and hide my dying pride

Oh cause I'm alive
