And my body's cold You will walk, dressed in black, to my door And the bells will toll You use my love like an open vein Just when I thought it would heal Back you came Seeing you again for the first time Tryna look ahead and not behind Raging as you do against the tide Knowing that your his instead of mine Getting used to being hurt again Every day is closer to the end Holding back the tears I need to cry Waiting to breathe for the last time Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive ♪ That's how it feels to be alive ♪ At my grave, they did say one last verse About the new love that you found
And I lay in the rain by the church And they lured me into the ground
You stole my heart as your souvenir ♪ Thought that you would never come back But now you're here Seeing you again for the first time Tryna look ahead and not behind Raging as you do against the tide Knowing that your his instead of mine Getting used to being hurt again Every day is closer to the end Holding back the tears I need to cry Waiting to breathe for the last time Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive ♪ Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive ♪ Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive (Outside waiting in the cold again) (I'm outside waiting to be held again) Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive (Outside standing on my own again) That's how it feels to be alive
