Alive - Artist Vs Poet

The night has come again,

And still, I am alone-

This time more than ever.

A feeling I had never felt before

And I don’t want to remember.

It’s taking a hold of me now

You drove in town to see me,

But you turned into a messenger

Oh, with news I never thought would hit my ears.

It’s now numbing me inside

Numbing me from this life and I,

Want so badly to disappear.

Maybe someday I can stand again.

Maybe soon, I can learn to wash my hands of this and start anew.

But I need you now to mend my heart

Because you’re the only one that can keep me alive tonight.

(tonight)

You’re everything to me:

My whole world, entire being,

The one thing I hold true in my life.

What made you do this to me?

Did you want me to set you free?

It tears me up inside, every night.

Maybe someday I can stand again.

Maybe soon, I can learn to wash my hands of this and start anew.

But I need you now to mend my heart

Because you’re the only one who can keep me alive tonight.

And everything will be just fine.

(I just wanted to be perfect, I just wanted to be perfect)

And everything will be just fine.

(I just wanted to be perfect, I just wanted to be perfect)

Maybe someday I can stand again.

(and everything will be just fine)

Maybe soon, I can learn to wash my hands of this and start anew.

But I need you now to mend my heart (and everything will be just fine)

Because you’re the only one that can keep me alive tonight.
