YellowCard - Here I Am Alive lyrics

rate me

If I could write to the kid I was before

I'd tell him "You'll get everything you ever wanted

But you will still want more"

'Cause someone's gonna tell you what you should want to be

So you'll forget the vision that they didn't want to see

And when they give up, 'cause they always give up

Say, "Here I am alive"

They say you don't grow up; you just grow old

It's safe to say I haven't done both

I made mistakes, I know, I know

But here I am alive

So many people close to me cut me down

This is supposed to be a bad luck town

I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground

But here I am alive

If I could write to myself when I was on top of it all

I'd say, "You're going overboard, and when you're falling

You're gonna feel so small"

Someone's gonna tell you that you deserve the worse

They say you're never coming back and tell you that you're cursed

And when they give up, 'cause they always give up

Say, "Here I am alive"

They say you don't grow up; you just grow old

It's safe to say I haven't done both

I made mistakes, I know, I know

But here I am alive

So many people close to me cut me down

This is supposed to be a bad luck town

I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground

But here I am alive

And when they give up, 'cause they will give up

Say, "Here I am alive"

And when they give up, 'cause they always give up

Say, "Here I am alive"

They say you don't grow up; you just grow old

It's safe to say I haven't done both

I made mistakes, I know, I know

But here I am alive

So many people close to me cut me down

This is supposed to be a bad luck town

I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground

But here I am alive

Here I am alive

(Here I am alive)

Here I am alive

(Here I am alive)

Here I am alive

(Here I am)

If I could write to the kid I was before
