Maggie Cassidy - I'm Alive Lyrics

Is this what you want
Is this all there is
And the question of
Who you are
Don't tell me you can't
Or follow what's been said
You cannot stand your place
Or who you are, who you are

Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
You won't get a chance to relive it
I look in the mirror every day
Think what my younger self would say
Am I growing up
Or wasting away

I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Not wasting away

I can't feel my health
Or the good in front of me
It's easier to run
Far away, far away
Shattered into bits
Oh please tell me what's it for
They say the power's in your choice
To escape, to escape

Bleeding in pieces
No longer need this
Oh how do we stand up to ourselves
Living tired and beaten
No memory of reason
Oh how do we stand up to ourselves

Don't expect the rain to stop
No one has your plans at heart
Sold on films
Sold on a dream
