Do you recall the time
When I said that I would never try this?
I'm awake and I'm alive (alive, alive)
You're wasting your time, 
The weight is off of me, yeah
I know it's hard to understand
And I know you think you're losing me all over again

I'm alive 
And I'll survive
I'm alive
Because you gave me life.

I know your heart beats to see me
I know you can't sleep because of me
I'd like to give you peace of mind
Cuz I know that you're listening 
And I know you [bad word] up everything
But I don't need your love, no

I'm alive
And I'll survive 
I'm alive
Because you gave me life

So when you're lying in your bed
And thoughts of me race through your head
Just know...

That I'm alive
And I'll survive
I'm alive
Because you gave me life.
