Better Alive

(album: DARKROOM - 2021)

By the look in your eyes, I can tell that you're broken

By the look in your eyes, I can tell that you're broken
By the way that you cry, I can say you've been hurt
By the way that you stare at me, I can tell you're in love
It's so weird that you care 'cause no one else give a fuck
One touched and I learned how love should feel
One kiss and I knew our love was real
Thought I was better alone, thought I was destined to die
Thought I'd be better in my own little room in the sky

But I'm better alive (But I'm better alive)
I'm not ready to go now, I have faith
Let's make a movie tonight (Let's make a movie tonight)
Yeah I'm talking the type you could watch a thousand times

Tell me who I should be and I can play you the part
The funny thing, this ain't an act, it's coming straight from the heart
You get some money and you think it's all good
All you get is fake drugs, fake love, yeah, I gotta get away

I wish I could, but I got people that need me
And I got family to feed
I really hope that you feel me
I really hope you can see
I'm far from perfect, I know
I got a lot to learn
But I got room to grow
I got a plan, you heard
Would you still love me if I lost it all and I was down bad?
Would you still trust me if I lied to your face and made you mad?
Baby, would you catch me if I went off the rails? If I fell off the edge?
Baby, would you hold my hand while I'm dying, up until I was dead

Better alive (But I'm better alive)
I'm not ready to go now, I have faith
Let's make a movie tonight (Let's make a movie tonight)
Yeah I'm talking the type you could watch a thousand times

Tell me who I should be and I can play you the part
The funny thing, this ain't an act, it's coming straight from the heart
You get some money and you think it's all good
All you get is fake drugs, fake love, yeah, I gotta get away
I wish I could
