VERSE 1:

son, she said, have a got a little story for you

what you thought was your daddy was nothing but a…

while you were sitting home alone at age 13

sorry you didn’t see him

but i’m glad we talked

oh i oh i’m still alive

hey i, i oh i’m still alive

hey i, oh, i’m still alive

hey…oh…

VERSE 2:

oh, she walks slowly, across a young man’s room

she said i’m ready…for you…

i can’t remember anything to this very day

‘cept the look, the look

oh you know where…now i can’t see…i just stare…

CHORUS 2:

i, i’m still alive

hey i, i, i’m still alive

hey i, i, i’m still alive

hey i, i, i’m still alive, yea

oh yea, yea yea yea…oh oh

BRIDGE:

“is something wrong?” she said

“you’re still alive” she said

oh, do i deserve to be?

is that the question?

and if so…if so…if so…if so…

CHORUS 3:

i, oh, i’m stil alive

hey i, oh, i’m still alive

hey i, but, i’m still alive

yea, i oh i’m still alive!

yea yea yea!
