lyrics

You fell and scratched your hands on the fragments of your life.
Nobody saved your place on the podium divine.
Your heart is bleeding and it weighs a million pounds.
You might feel better when the morning comes around.

Like a smack, on your face
Like a face with weary eyes.
Like the moment that the truth smashes through.
When you finally realise (what it's like to be alive)

Now you know what it means to be alive.
All the hurt that it takes to get by.
You'll never get one more chance to try.
Now you know what it means to be alive. To Be Alive
I tried to warn you 'bout the dangers up ahead.
But I was a little too late and you took the fall instead.
So now you lick your wounds and you tell me how it aches.
Let that be a lesson, we all make the same mistakes.
