If I could write to the kid I was before,
I'd tell him, you'll get anything you ever wanted,
But you would still want more.
Someone's gonna tell you, who you should wanna be
So you'll forget the vision that they didn't wanna see,
And when they give up cause they will 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 fallin'
You're gonna feel so small.
Someone's gonna tell you that you deserve the worst,
They'll say you're never coming back and tell you that you're cursed.
But then 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!
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 alive!
Here I am alive! Here I am alive!
