Still Alive – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
You have changed
I have changed
Just like you
Just like you
For how long
For how long
Must I wait
I know there's something wrong
Your concrete heart isn't beating
And you tried to
Make it come alive
No shadows
Just red lights
Now I'm here to rescue you
...
Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive and
I can't apologise, no
...
Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive and
I can't apologise, no
So silent
No violence
But inside my head
So loud and clear
You're screaming
You're screaming
Cover up with a smile I've learned to fear
Just sunshine
And blue skies
Is this all we get, for living here?
Come fire
Come fire
Let it burn and love come racing through
...
Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive and
I can't apologise, no
...
Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive and
I can't apologise, no
I've learn to lose
I've learn to win
Turn my face against the wind
I will move fast
I will move slow
Take me where I have to go
...
Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive and
I can't apologise, no
(I'm still alive)
Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive and
I can't apologise, no
Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive and
I can't apologise, no
Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive and
I can't apologise, no
...
