Tom Grennan – Alive (Acoustic) lyrics

I was born in a thunderstorm
I grew up overnight
I played alone
I played on my own
I survived
Hey, I wanted everything I never had
Like the love that comes with the 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
You're taught to cry in your pillow
But I survived

I'm still breathing, breathing
I'm still breathing, breathing
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, 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
You're taught to cry in your pillow
But I survived

Yeah, I'm still breathing, breathing
I'm still breathing, breathing
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive

You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, and I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing

I have made every single mistake
That you could ever possibly make
Took and I took and you took and you gave
But you never noticed when I was in pain
Knew what I wanted, I went out and got it
I 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, breathing
I'm still breathing, breathing
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive
