Yellowcard - Here I Am Alive lyrics

If I could write to the kid I was before, I'd tell him you'll get everything you ever wanted, But you will still want more. Someone's going to tell you Who should want to be So you'll 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. Hook: 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're falling You're gonna feel so small, Someone's gonna tell you that you deserve the worst, They'll say you're never coming back And tell you that you're cursed. And when they give up, cause they always give up. Say, here I am alive. Hook: 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. (Alive alive alive alive alive) And when they give up, cause they will give up Say: Here I am alive! When they give up, cause they always give up Say: Here I am alive! Hook: 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! If I could write to the kid I was before
