I didn’t think I’d get this far…

The Lyrics

Verse:

Even though you break down on the couch, thrash out disappear and then come back around. Even though you’re afraid to be touched cause you might fall in love with the wrong ones

Pre chorus:

I never thought I would like you, cause you act like such a damn fool. You’ve never been what I’d hoped for.

Chorus:

But I’ll be you til I die. So I’ll love you while I’m alive. I can’t believe I’m alive, I can’t believe I’m alive, she didn’t get out alive, I can’t believe I’m alive.

Verse:

I didn’t think I’d get this far, on a journey of self-love built with a crowbar. I don’t think I really love your flaws. But I’m down to keep working on ‘em through the withdrawals

Pre chorus:

I never thought I would like you, cause you act like such a damn fool. You’ve never been what I’d hoped for.

Chorus:

But I’ll be you til I die. So I’ll love you while I’m alive. I can’t believe I’m alive, I can’t believe I’m alive, she didn’t get out alive, I can’t believe I’m alive.

Verse:

You’re annoying and I hate you at night, but his skin is so warm pressed to my flesh. In bed with a red-head dead, but I sigh a sigh while he’s high on my thigh

Pre chorus:

I never thought I would like you, cause you act like such a damn fool. You’ve never been what I’d hoped for.

Chorus (1/2):

But I’ll be you til I die

Bridge:

Not your demon I’m holy, raise your crown up and show me. Don’t take shit, you’re golden, Ahhh- ah -ah -ah.

Not your demon I’m holy, raise your crown up and show me. Don’t take shit, you’re golden, Ahhh- ah -ah -ah

Chorus (2/2):

So I’ll love you while I’m alive

Outro:

I can’t believe I’m alive, I can’t believe I’m alive, she didn’t get out alive, I can’t believe I’m alive. I can’t believe I’m alive, I can’t believe I’m alive, she didn’t get out alive, I can’t believe I’m alive. Ah oo oo, Ah oo oo, Ah oo oo, Oh.
