If I could write to the kid I was before
I'd tell him You'll anything you ever wanted, oh oh 
But you will still want more
Someone's gonna tell you
Who you should wanna 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"

They say you don't grow up
You just grow old
It' 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 gonna feel so small,
Someone's gonna tell you that you deserve the worst
They'll say you're [bad word] back
And tell you that you're cursed
But then they give up, 'cause they always give up
Say: "Here I am alive"

They say you don't grow up
You just grow old
It' 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"
And when they give up, 'cause they always give up
Say "Here I am alive"

They say you don't grow up
You just grow old
It' 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)
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...
