I was born in a thunderstorm
I grew up overnight
I played alone, I played on my own
But I survived
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, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still 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
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, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
I have 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 and 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, oh
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
