I was alive before I met you
And I'm sure I'll live again
But I'll be damned if I should let you
Tell me how I'm gonna rise and when

I was no stone before you bled me
I held one thousand loves inside
But now I'm cold since you have left me
Without a pale cheek to hide behind

I have cried myself to sleep
Now I'd give my soul not to weep
I have killed myself for love
But now I've got my health to think of

I called my psychic friend to help me
How can I find the light within
She said, “my girl let go what's empty
Or you may never feel your soul again”

I was alive before I met you
And I'm sure I'll live again
But I'll be damned if I should let you
Tell me how I'm gonna rise and when
