I grew up overnight

I played alone. I'm playing on my own

I survived

Hey, I wanted everything I never had

Like the love that comes with light

I wore envy and I hated that

But I survived

I had a one way ticket to a place where all the demons go

Where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow

No hope, just lies, and you're taught to cry into your pillow

But I survived

I'm still breathing

I'm alive

I found solace in the strangest place

Way in the back of my mind

I saw my life in a stranger's face

And it was mine

I had a one way ticket to a place where all the demons go

Where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow

No hope, just lies, and you're taught to cry into your pillow

But I survived

I'm still breathing

I'm alive

You took it out, but I'm still breathing

I had made every single mistake

That you could ever possibly make

I took and I took and I took what you gave

But you never noticed that I was in pain

I knew what I wanted; I went in and got it

Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't

I told you that I would never be forgotten

And all in spite of you

And I'm still breathing

I'm still breathing

I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)

I'm alive
