Here I Am Alive

If I could write to the kid I was before I'd tell him you'd get everything you ever wanted But you will still want more Someone's gonna tell you Who you should wanna be So you forget the vision that they didn't want to 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 are falling You're gonna feel so small Someone's gonna tell you that you deserve the worst They'd say you're never coming back and tell you that you're cursed But 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 alive) Here I am alive (Here I am) If I could write to the kid I was before --- Here I Am Alive - Yellowcard
