Alive lyrics

Verse 1

How long had you been standing there

A witness to my grief

My shaking fist, my agony

My begging for relief I would have given anything

It seemed my soul was not enough

When you watched me lose everything

Did you want to pick me up

Did you want to pick me up

Chorus

Did it break you when I was broken

Did it hurt you to hear me cry

To love me wasn't easy

Did it kill you inside

You laid it all down

To see me come alive

Alive

Verse 2

You hold a mirror to my face

Now that the battle's done

Beautiful scars I can't erase

That prove how far I've come

Leathered skin for lessons learned

Things I had to learn alone

Pearls of wisdom I have earned

All from sand to polished stone

Chorus

Did it break you when I was broken

Did it hurt you to hear me cry

To love me wasn't easy

Did it kill you inside

You laid it all down

To see me come alive

Alive
