I Don’t Feel Alive

**Verse 1**

I wake up tired of breathing

Like it’s something I forgot

Every mirror shows a stranger

With your absence in his thoughts

Your side of the bed is colder

But I stay there anyway

If I leave this room behind me

I’ll have to face the day

**Pre-Chorus**

They say the pain will pass

But it’s learning how to stay

**Chorus**

I don’t feel alive

I just exist in time

Every second without you

Is another way I die

If this is healing

I don’t want to survive

I don’t feel alive

I just don’t feel alive

**Verse 2**

I talk to you in silence

Like you’re listening somewhere

I keep hoping that it kills me

That you don’t answer there

I cut the lights at sunset

Let the dark take over me

If I sit here long enough

Maybe I’ll finally sleep

**Pre-Chorus**

I built my world around your name

Now it’s buried in the wreck

**Chorus**

I don’t feel alive

I’m just learning how to cope

Every promise that you made me

Feels like cruel, false hope

If moving on means losing you

Then I’ll stay paralyzed

I don’t feel alive

I just don’t feel alive

**Bridge (quiet, breaking)**

Did you ever love me

Or was I just a phase?

Were you already gone

While I begged you to stay?

*(screams)*

I GAVE YOU MY LIFE

YOU LEFT ME EMPTY

**Final Chorus (heaviest)**

I don’t feel alive

I’m just counting the days

I’m breathing out your name

Till it fades away

If this is what’s left of me

After you decide

I don’t feel alive

I just don’t feel alive

**Outro (whispered)**

I’m still here

I don’t know why
